Great excitement in our playground this afternoon as two typhoon jet flypast Bell’s Brae to celebrate 100 years of the RAF.

RAF flyby: Typhoon jets ‘wave’ to Bell’s Brae pupils

We are thrilled to be involved in supporting the RAF celebrate their centenary.

One of the most exciting events taking place is the RAF100 Baton Relay which sees a specially designed baton visit 100 sites associated with the RAF in 100 days.  As part of this relay the baton will travel to RAF Saxa Vord in a Typhoon fast jet from Lossiemouth  this afternoon.

To make the event even more symbolic the jet will carry out a low-level jet flypast over Bell’s Brae Primary School this afternoon at approximately 2.15pm.   Squadron Leader Daniela Nowalski has been co-ordinating this event with staff at the school and will visit the school this afternoon with a replica baton.

Working with the RAF’s partner the Big Ideas Company we have received resources to support their ‘Remember RAF100 Project’ and involve our learners in this celebration.
