Justin Hughes
Former Red Arrow and RAF fighter pilot, Justin Hughes offers a fascinating insight into the workings of the world’s premier formation aerobatic team including some highly entertaining anecodotes.
Early Career
Starting his career as an 18 year old Army Officer, Justin then gained a degree in physics and subsequently joined the Royal Air Force. For 6 years he flew the Tornado F3, the RAF’s front-line air defence fighter aircraft, taking part in both training and operational deployments all over the world, including support of the UN peacekeeping operation. He became a ‘force commander’ on the Tornado, qualified to lead any scale of mission in any theatre. Justin was subsequently selected for the Red Arrows performing over 250 displays worldwide and was the Deputy Team Leader and Executive Officer.
Business Speaker
An inspiring speaker with a wealth of experience in delivering results in an environment where failure is not an option and mistakes cost lives, Justin has the ability to motivate and/or entertain any audience.
“In a wide-ranging and informative speech laced with humorous anecdotes, Justin conveyed brilliantly the sense of camaraderie, dedication and commitment to sheer hard work that are requisite attributes for success in his chosen profession.”
Chief Executive, Northern Ireland Aerospace Consortium

‘To see how top class teamworking happens in an organisation like the Red Arrows is mind-blowing. The concept of debriefing immediately grabbed the imagination of my team and we have just done it.’
‘Justin is a first-class presenter…definitely the best presentation [in annual staff meetings] so far. He gave a presentation that had people on the fronts of their seats. Red Arrows jets everywhere. And they achieve this level of perfection by first-class teamworking. Aviate, navigate, communicate!’
