Join the Barlow Red Barrows: Training Days This April ✈️

Barlow Red Barrows – described as lower and slower than the famous Red Arrows fliers – is looking to swell its ranks with two training days in April. Terry Allison, one of the longest-serving members, said: “People will have to have a sense of fun, humility and a liking for beer and pickled onions because that more or less fuels the Red Barrows.”

What puts this north Derbyshire aerial display team in a league of its own is that its members pilot wheelbarrows. Their well-drilled formations include lifting barrows into the air. Terry said: “To get to show level can be an exhaustive period but we supply all the training and the uniforms needed for the pilots to perform.”
