Britain’s Ambassador to Greece, John Kittmer, visited the 114 Combat Wing of Greece’s Air Force in Tanagra, an area north of Athens on Wednesday, to attend a training session of the “Red Arrows,” the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team.
The “Red Arrows,” who are currently training in Tanagra air force base, is one of the world’s premier aerobatic display teams, known for presenting extraordinary and impressive shows across Britain.
The British envoy, who was accompanied by Defense Attaché, Captain Richard Blackwell, was welcomed by the Wing Commander, Colonel Athanasios Ganas and then flew with one of the 11 Hawk-T1-Aircraft used by the Red Arrows in the aerobatics.
The Royal Air Force team will complete its training program on April 28.
