High flying imagary

OLD Town artist David Bent has
presented six Swindon secondary schools
with a limited edition book based on his
close contact with the RAF Red Arrows
aerobatic team.
‘A Celebration of the Red Arrows’ marks
the 50th Display season and features
David’s unique insight to the famed
flyers.
HRH Prince Charles was presented
with his copy at the Royal International
Air Tattoo in June. Since then selected
schools, colleges and air cadet units have
received them.
David said: “I hope the book is both an
educational resource and inspiration to
young people, and that the images reflect
what hard work, dedication and operating
as a focussed team can achieve.” David with, from left, Marilyn Fitzgerald of Dorcan Academy and Create Studios, Alison Slaven of Nova Hreod,
