Gypo by carole_sandford

Gypo

This is what Reds 6,7,8 & 9 are known as, ( no idea where that name came from!) they do a lot of the really “daredevil “ stuff . This is them banking to their right, in front of where I was stood.
This may be the last time I see them at Scampton. They finish today for two weeks & then they are off to Greece, to continue their training & to gain PDA (public display authority). Then it will be display season & then they move to Waddington. Waddington isn’t too far away & apparently they will still fly in Scampton airspace, but will have to see how it all works out.
Fabulous capture

Superb shot indeed. The phrase ‘Gypo’ comes from the Battle of Britain, where Hurricane fighter planes would be scrambled to intercept the on coming German Bombers, and the ‘Gypo’ call sign would be used, to group four Hurricanes together, where they would then open fire, head on at the bombers. ‘Gypo Break’ would then be used, and the group of four, would then quickly disperse, something the Red Arrows also perform. Looking forward to seeing them display again this year 🙏🙏

Oh I’ve always loved your photos of them. This capture is incredible. Maybe you will still be able to photograph them when they move to Waddington.
