Before the RAF Role Demo team can perform a public display they have to achieve their Public Display Authorisation (PDA). This is required of all display teams, both military and civvy. The military teams are approved by high ranking officers after the team has successfully demonstrated their display routine.

For the RAF Role Demo team this happened on Tuesday 6th and Wednesday 7th May at RAF Waddington. The primary crews performed the display on the 6th and the second display on the 7th. The secondary crews performed the first display on the 7th.

The photos below are from the first and second display on the 7th……
