Watch: Red Arrows and Poseidon dazzle in amazing flypast

The jets flew over RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland.

The Red Arrows have carried out a dazzling flypast in the Scottish skies with an RAF Poseidon Maritime Patrol Aircraft.

The RAF’s brand-new submarine-hunter, in formation with the aerobatic Hawk jets for the first time, flew over its new home at RAF Lossiemouth in Moray on Wednesday.

Five Poseidon MRA1s are now at their new £100m P-8A Strategic Facility at Lossiemouth, with another four due to arrive by the end of the year.

Have a look at these snaps!
