Bring the Red Arrows to RAF Leeming

I am fighting to bring the Red Arrows aerobatic display team to RAF Leeming.

The pride of the RAF has to find a new home after the closure of RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire and I think our local base would make the ideal location.

It would be a major boost for the area and I know constituents would be immensely proud to welcome the team.

You can read why the case for RAF Leeming is so strong in the news items below.
