"This really is an embarrassing blunder. The aircraft depicted isn't the BAE Hawk trainer used by the Red Arrows, or anything remotely like it. It looks like a depiction of a Russian Sukhoi SU-30.Both aircraft are so vastly different, in every respect - and it isn't even the correct nationality.''
The tweet marked 48 days to go before the Red Arrows largest overseas deployment for 25 years in north America. Between August to October the Red Arrows will be performing across 18 cities in the US and Canada. A spokesman for the DIT said they deleted the tweet as they had doubts over the image they used.
"We wanted to be sure of its provenance following comments made on twitter. Both the Red Arrows and DIT are content with the image, however, we think it's best to repost an image that more closely resembles the Red Arrows aircraft."
