Market Harborough RAF Pilot Joins Red Arrows Display Team
Written by HFM News on 26th November 2021
An RAF fighter pilot from Market Harborough has been selected to join the elite Red Arrows display team.
Flight Lieutenant Patrick Kershaw had to pass vigorous assessments to secure his place in the world-famous Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team.
It’s been a life-long ambition of his to be part of the nine-strong crew, based at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, whose distinctive hawk fast jets are the public face of the service.
Flt Lt Kershaw, a former student at Guilsborough School, who has been in the RAF for fifteen years, will be known as ‘Red 3’ when he takes to the skies during displays next year.
He told Hfm he is looking forward to passing over the Harborough area and being part of Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations:
