You’ll probably already be aware that the Red Arrows are riding from Land’s End to John O’Groats at the end of the month, in aid of a host of worthy causes. They’re being a bit mincey and taking four days just to go one way (we did it twice in 30 hours), but in their defence they are doing it on scooters.
They’ve even equipped their fleet of Vespas with smoke flares so that they can replicate their aerobatic smoke trails. It’s unlikely that they’ll be smoking their way up the A30, but they certainly let rip on the runway at RAF Scampton the other day – check out the video to see them in action.
