The Prize

An unforgettable VIP day with the Red Arrows.

This prize is a unique opportunity for two people to visit the Red Arrows at their base during the winter training period. Acknowledged as one of the world’s premier aerobatic teams, the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team is the public face of the Royal Air Force, promoting its professional excellence. During the visit, you will meet the Team’s pilots and support staff as they train for the summer 2018 display season.

The day includes:

A presentation on the activities of the Red Arrows, given by one of the squadron’s officers
Sitting in on the pilots’ pre-sortie brief
Weather permitting, watching a flying display practice
Having a photograph taken with the pilots in front of one of the aircraft
Watching the pilots’ debrief session
Enjoying a buffet lunch with team members
A guided tour of the Hawk aircraft by one of their engineers

The Red Arrows are based at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire.

Important information: Please be advised that the programme will be subject to the weather and operational commitments and dates to be agreed upon. Security information will be required from the winning bidders.

Provisional slot for Reds day: 14th March, 2018.

The Cause

Walking With The Wounded provides a pathway for "at-risk" veterans to integrate back into society and sustain their independence. At the heart of this journey is employment.

Our objective is to support physically, mentally or "socially" injured veterans in overcoming the hindrances preventing them from integrating back into society, leading independent lives and holding down a fulfilling job that makes the most of the unique skills gained through first-class military training. Our programmes give them access to mental health therapy, support them in their journey out of homelessness, work with those at the point of entering the criminal justice system and guide marginalised veterans into education, training and employment.

We have achieved much in recent years, however with success comes ambition and responsibility—ambition to support more "at-risk" veterans in society by expanding employment opportunities and a responsibility to deliver the most successful and sustainable outcome achievable for each and every veteran we support.
