Follow my adventures as I fly with lots of cool aircraft over the summer. I'll be auctioned online in sept to raise money for the RAF Benevolent Fund!

Last week I flew with the Red Arrows…this week I’m on a whole new adventure…I’ll be documenting it on Instagram where you can find me as archie_the_avgeek https://t.co/oeHt1r0Rj6

[Avgeek_Archie @ArchieAvgeek]

People do all sorts for charity…some do wing walks or parachute jumps…I did the splits in the cockpit of a @rafredarrows hawk! One of the many little adventures under my belt for when I’m auctioned off for @RAFBF later this year. Thanks to @pilotbondy for looking after me!

So last week I swapped the old birds of @bbmf for a trip on @easyJet with @CHartleyPhotos …back in the UK now and ready for my next adventure….”smoke on go”…….

@Jamie_Pilot @RAFBBMF Almost missed it….my owner was stuck on a train for what felt like 22 hours 😂😂😂

@MikeLingPilot @NewarkAirMus Also I’ve just realised I’m replying as a bear

[Avgeek_Archie @ArchieAvgeek]

@MikeLingPilot @NewarkAirMus Oh was that you over coningsby at 9000 ft?

[Avgeek_Archie @ArchieAvgeek]

Well it’s looking less soggy than last year…hopefully I won’t have to worry about frizzy fur!

“We’re all looking forward to being a part of the main event, sharing the road with others and helping to raise money for the Fund.”

@lisa_RAFBF @Jamie_Pilot @RAFBF @PetwoodHotel @Jacob_The_Pilot @petwood @RafMetheringham @simonwitts @batemansbrewery @RAFScampton @NX611JustJane @ruthgilford @Michelle_RAFBF @chriselliot65 I’m hoping I’ve brought the weather back from Bermuda!

[Avgeek_Archie @ArchieAvgeek]

Had an amazing week away with @Jamie_Pilot but now I’m on my way back to Lincolnshire via a slightly bumpier means of transit (all will be revealed!) so that I can attend the @RAFBF Dambusters ride next weekend at @PetwoodHotel …

[Avgeek_Archie @ArchieAvgeek]

Another flight for me today! Thanks Jamie!!!

[Avgeek_Archie @ArchieAvgeek]

@Jamie_Pilot @30SqnRAF @70SqnA400M I’m loving our little trip!!!

[Avgeek_Archie @ArchieAvgeek]

Forget “where’s Wally” we have a new game..”where’s Archie”. Let’s just hope somebody spots me before take off!

[Avgeek_Archie @ArchieAvgeek]

Yep! Bermuda definitely beats Coningbsy. Tan is coming along nicely whilst I wait for my next flight with @Jamie_Pilot @70SqnA400M

[Avgeek_Archie @ArchieAvgeek]

I was getting a little tired of the Coningsby weather so when I heard @Jamie_Pilot was going overseas in the A400M I decided to stow away in his bag…..clocking up those hours in my log book now!!! Here I am at the airport in Bangor, Maine ✈️

[Avgeek_Archie @ArchieAvgeek]

Huge thanks to @Jamie_Pilot for looking after me in the Lancaster yesterday! What an experience to add to my log book. When I’m auctioned for @RAFBF at the end of the season my book full of crew signatures along with all of these images will come with me to the winning bidder

[Avgeek_Archie @ArchieAvgeek]

Today I went flying again. This time in the Lancaster for its first flight of the year! That’s an entry I’ve been wanting in my log book for a while!!!

[Avgeek_Archie @ArchieAvgeek]

Keeping watch on the Nav in the Dakota….

[Avgeek_Archie @ArchieAvgeek]

Another day another aircraft….this time I got to play in a Harvard at @RAFBBMF

[Avgeek_Archie @ArchieAvgeek]

Thanks to @JayWarden for teaching me some new skills on todays @RAFBBMF Dakota flight…here I am sat in the back helping work out some weight/balance calculations. There’s a lot more to this flying malarkey than just waving out of the back door it seems!
