Red Arrow selfies at 300ft.

This amazing series of pictures captures the famous Red Arrows display team while they fly above RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus.

The selfie-style shots show the squadron forming up just feet from the wings of their fellow pilot as they practice their performance.

The pilots’ routines see them fly at speeds of up to 600 miles an hour, swooping as low as 100 feet and pulling up to 8Gs during the Vixen Break manoeuvre.

In 8G everything weighs 8 times more, and so it can be difficult for photographers to capture images as it is almost impossible to hold the camera up to eye level. The force will also drain blood away from the eyes and brain and into the legs, which can cause black out.

These pictures were captured by expert Katsuhiko Tokunaga who is one of just ten air-to-air photographers in the world, and who has worked with the Red Arrows on several occasions.
