Red Arrows

Since 1965 the Red Arrows, known as The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, have been displaying the most daring aerobatic manoeuvres. Considered the World’s premier aerobatic display team, they have flown 5000 displays in 57 different countries, attracting billions of views on their tours.

The team represents speed, agility, and precision, demonstrating the excellence and capabilities of the Royal Air Force. They serve as great ambassadors for the United Kingdom, promoting the best of British industry, values, and defence diplomacy. In their displays, the Red Arrows fly Hawk fast jets and are recognised for their trademark Dimond Nine Shape, a combination of close formations and precision flying.

At the Motivational Speakers Agency, we are fortunate to have five of the leading Red Arrow pilots, who can reveal the secrets to becoming elite pilots and top military speakers.

Justin Hughes

Justin Hughes is a distinguished former Royal Air Force Fighter Pilot who became an Executive Officer of the Red Arrows. He began his journey with the RAF in 1990 as a Fighter Pilot flying a Tornado F3. Displaying remarkable aptitude and an ability to make strategic decisions in high-pressure situations, he rapidly rose within the ranks.

During his 12 years with the RAF, Justin played an instrumental role in the United Nations Peacekeeping operations and performed 250 flying displays with the Red Arrows. An embodiment of what it means to be a high-performing individual, Justin shares his methods for success in his speaking engagements.

Testimonial:

"Brilliantly conveyed the sense of camaraderie, dedication, and commitment to sheer hard work that are requisite attributes for success." - Northern Ireland Aerospace Consortium

Dan Lowes

Dan Lowes served for 16 years as a Commissioned Officer and Fighter Pilot with the Royal Air Force. Operating at a world-class level, Dan’s ability to work in demanding, dynamic, and high-pressure environments saw him become an Executive Officer of the Red Arrows in 2016.

Moreover, after showcasing extraordinary talent and rigour as a Red Arrow pilot, Dan was selected to become the assessor in charge of recruiting suitable Red Arrow candidates. Understanding exactly what it takes to achieve high performance, he eloquently speaks on how ordinary people can transform their lives in his speaking engagements.

Testimonial

"Dan’s ability to deliver key messages on resilience, motivation and life planning was received exceptionally well, especially as many of our young people either suffer or have suffered in these areas in the current climate. I cannot recommend Dan as a speaker enough. The feedback and response that I have received from Dan’s guest speaker appearance has been nothing short of phenomenal." - Rachael, Development Officer, Scouts NI

Andy Wyatt

Andy Wyatt joined the Royal Airforce aged just 18 years old. Exhibiting great flair for life in the air, he flew the English Electric Lightning, a supersonic Cold War-era fighter aircraft. During the Cold War, he was tasked with the dangerous assignment of intercepting Russian aircraft, a mission which he completed admirably.

Later on, Andy was selected to join the Red Arrows, where he had a phenomenal spell as a solo display pilot. Performing exquisite routines in the infamous Hawk jet, he was honoured with the Queen’s Commendation For Valuable Services In The Air in 1992. Now Andy can be hired as a speaker, where he talks about the significance of teamwork and his experiences as an accomplished pilot.

Testimonial

"Throughout his time on stage, the audience was captivated, and Andy’s presentation was one of the best of the day, not only in my opinion, but also that of several of my colleagues who I spoke to afterwards. It is clear that Andy is a first-class orator and delivers a message that is indeed inspirational. If anyone is looking for someone to provide a motivational message, then I can thoroughly recommend Andy as the man to do it." - Severn Trent

Graham Duff

Graham Duff is a Royal Air Force Pilot who completed several tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. He believes to be a successful pilot, it’s all about learning to push yourself and so striving to be the best is his motto. From the very beginning, as a Royal Air Force Trainee Pilot, Graham put that belief into action and rapidly saw himself become the top of his class.

After developing extensive experience as a Jaguar GR3A Pilot protecting the No-Fly Zone in Northern Iraq, he joined the Red Arrows in 2010. Graham went on to complete a three-year tour as a Display Pilot, the maximum period possible, before joining the elite UK Special Forces. An incredibly inspirational individual, Graham is available to hire for speaking events, where he shares motivational stories from his exhilarating tours and expeditions.

Testimonial

"From feedback I have had, everyone thought your talk was amazing, on both topics….Red Arrows and Everest. They are both sort of glamorous subjects, so it went down well and you were amazing! Loved you." - Red Route Agency

Jas Hawker

Jas Hawker is renowned for being the youngest Pilot to ever fly a Tornado aircraft into enemy territory. An outstanding pilot, he joined the Royal Airforce at 18 and quickly proved himself to be a great leader with excellent problem-solving and team management skills.

In 2007 he was chosen to be the Commanding Officer of the Red Arrows and went on to impressively lead his team to perform 500 public displays, in the USA, Middle East and South East Asia. When booked as a speaker, Jas eloquently talks about motivation, teamwork, and marginal gains and offers the audience an insight into what it means to be a Red Arrows pilot.

Testimonial

"A presentation with valuable learning that was highly relevant to business as well as being entertaining." - Saatchi and Saatchi
