Stunning collection of Red Arrows plane photographs have been unveiled by enthusiast
Photographer Claire Hartley lives near RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, where the Red Arrows are based, and grew up with the planes flying over her house.
The 38-year-old now spends her spare time photographing the planes, watching them train at their base during the winter and attending hundreds of air shows throughout the rest of the year.
"I work full time but try to photograph the Red Arrows most weekends of the year," said Miss Hartley.
"During the winter months I photograph them at their base, which is really near my home in Lincoln.

"Then I spend the other months travelling to air shows all over the country, from Bournemouth to Sunderland.
"I absolutely love the Red Arrows, I've grown up with them flying overhead and they are a big part of Lincolnshire.
"The way they fly is amazing and I never get bored of watching them."

Over the last year Miss Hartley has taken hundreds of photos of the team, which is currently on a 60-day tour of the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions where they are promoting British interests.
She added: "Even though many of the air shows are similar I always end up with a different set of photos as the sky and location is always different.
"I'm always pushing myself to take a better picture and I never get the same shot twice."
