The brewer is supporting the “name on a plane” campaign, which is raising money for the 2018 Royal Air Force centenary.

Managing director Gerald Michaluk said: “Having been taught to fly by the RAF and more recently having been a civilian gliding instructor with the RAF Volunteer Reserve Training Branch, I am happy to see this clever campaign launched to support the RAF Museum, centenary campaign and contribute, in a very small way, to raising the campaign’s profile and ultimately the £2 million needed.”

Michaluk added: “Members of the public and companies can also have their name on a Red Arrows Hawk for as little a donation as £30 so I would urge all of you, who like me, would love to fly with the Red Arrows to donate and have your name join that of the Arran Brewery’s on the wing of a famous Red Arrows plane.”
