England - Paris - RAF Red Arrows pilots in hotel

Pilots of the Red Arrows, Britain's RAF aerobatic team gather in hotel after their Bastille Day flypast over Paris. After arriving back on the ground and their Paris hotel, the British officers meet wives and girlfriends after ending France's Bastille Day parade. They were chosen by the French authorities to close the fly-pasts. British armed forces paraded in the historic parade for the first time. Under blue skies on a perfect summer day, the squadron lined up in their classic fly-past 'V-shape' called 'Big Battle', following the straight line of the Champs Elysees then eastwards over the Parisian suburbs. Personnel from four British military units were present and French Air Force jets performed their own fly-past to open the parade, while the British Hawk jets of the Red Arrows had the honour of completing it.
