Iron Man Takes to the Skies
"It's a great story and I don't think people are aware just how switched on the British aviation industry was in the '50s, '60s and '70s. "The Red Arrows were based in Kemble for 20 years and Kemble itself has a huge association with the jet engine, so it's great to reflect that in the display. "Kemble is a great airfield, because it is one that is still enthusiastic about aviation. It seems to be a place that is very well embedded in the community."
