Stress grounds Red Arrows’ first female pilot, team to fly with 7 aircraft

The Red Arrows will fly with only seven aircraft this year, going back to nine aircraft during ceremonies, after Flt Lt Kirsty Stewart is switched to a ground-based role.

Flt Lt Kirsty Stewart, the first woman to fly for the Red Arrows, was said to have been badly affected by the deaths of two Red Arrows pilots in separate accidents last year.
