00:00Right I'm here with squadron leader Graeme Muscat of the Red Arrows, Red 10 today on
00:06the ground at Portsoy. How was that display for you Graeme?
00:09It was a great display, the weather held out really well, we've got high cloud base, beautiful
00:13horizon, it presented really well over the sea so it was a really good display for us.
00:17Excellent, and the conditions were they? Yeah good, it was a bit of a light wind from
00:20the east, the cloud was high enough, a little bit of stuff at the top, over the top in the
00:24loops but nothing to put the team off and it was really nice and a great light and hopefully
00:29everyone got to see a great show. And this is your only Scottish leg on the 60th
00:32anniversary tour, so Portsoy got an exclusive today?
00:35They did yeah, we displayed in Northern Ireland this morning, Scotland this evening and then
00:39we've got two shows in a couple of weeks out in Swansea and then yeah so it's the first
00:43one in Scotland and the only one in Scotland this year so it's a very exclusive show for
00:47them. Excellent, and you're off to Canada I believe
00:48late in the summer? Yes, about mid-August we'll go to Canada,
00:51we'll go via Stornoway, Iceland and Greenland and then into the North East of Canada and
00:55we'll be there for about four or five weeks with four shows, about 16-17 displays, lots
01:00of engagement, lots of diplomatic work and really representing the best of Great Britain
01:04and the Royal Air Force. And what would you say about the atmosphere
01:07at Portsoy and the environment for doing a display here?
01:10It was great, I never knew what to expect, I'd only seen it from Google Earth and when
01:13I look round and you see all the different levels and everyone's sat around and a really
01:17nice little quaint town, so far it's probably one of my best places to display and the warm
01:23reception from everybody here has been fantastic, so yeah a really great display that will be
01:27put on and I hope really everyone enjoyed it and I'll certainly convey back to the team
01:31that it was very well received and it was a great show.
01:34Excellent, right, thank you squad leader, thank you, appreciate that.
