Martin, is currently studying for a mathematics degree and fits his studies around a busy schedule.
Speaking to the Daily Record, Martin said: “The Olympic flypast could easily be the absolute pinnacle of my career as we go over the stadium and all of the Olympic live sites across the United Kingdom on the same day.
The 31-year-old joined the Royal Air Force in February 2000 as a non-graduate Direct Entrant Officer Cadet, and after progressing through the Force, more recently (in 2010), he became the 1(F) Sqn Qualified Flying Instructor and conducted the last sortie to honour the Harrier GR9 bow out of service.
Martin said: “I had always wanted to go into the Red Arrows. There’s six months of training, which is pretty intense, and a lot of hard work, but when you arrive to do to the displays you really see the fruits of your labour because the crowds absolutely love it.”
