This is, after all, a job for the best pilots. The Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, is the aerobatics display team of the Royal Air Force based at RAF Scampton.The team was formed in late 1964 as an all-RAF team, replacing a number of unofficial teams that had been sponsored by RAF commands. To tide you over until the postponed Boundless members' event takes place in 2021, here’s a look at how the RAF’s brave and brilliant aerobatic display team took to the skiesIn 1964, concerned about the costs and time being spent by elite pilots in practising for performances rather than operations, the RAF amalgamated these display teams to form the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, affectionately known to the nation ever since as the Red Arrows.Red Arrows jets parked up in anticipation of their next intrepid adventure
The four-part documentary follows the Red Arrows on a 22,000-mile journey across Canada and the United States – aimed at showcasing the best of British in North America. The Royal Air Force Display (later renamed Empire Air Day) saw pilots flying exceptionally close to the public, staging stunts such as tying aircraft together, and using live ammunition to simulate battle scenes.The Spitfires’ role in World War Two, along with the rapid evolution of the jet engine, further turbo-charged public interest in air displays. There, in 1958, the Black Arrows completed the first-ever 16-aircraft barrel roll and a loop-the-loop involving 22 Hawker Hunters in formation – setting a world record that still stands.Engineers began employing tricks to enhance the visual experience for spectators, many of which will be familiar today. During World War One, the sky had become a battle theatre for the first time. The final three are selected from a shortlist of nine applicants after a week that includes a flying assessment, an interview and peer assessment. It was relief.

Several RAF squadrons and training schools established teams and jostled for pole position, among them the Black Arrows (111 Squadron), the Falcons, later renamed the Blue Diamonds (92 Squadron), the Firebirds (56 Squadron), the Tigers (74 Squadron), the Yellowjacks (No 4 Flying Training School, RAF Valley) and the Central Flying School’s Red Pelicans.Teams attempted ever more ambitious routines at prestigious events such as the Society of British Aircraft Constructors’ show at Farnborough (now the Farnborough International Airshow, one of the planet’s largest aviation events). The Red Arrows relocate from RAF Kemble to RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, the base made famous by its role in the 1943 Dambusters raid.The Red Arrows perform their 4,000th display at RAF Leuchars Battle of Britain Air Show in September.After two tragic and fatal accidents during the previous display season, the team is temporarily reduced to seven planes before returning to nine for the 2013 season.The Red Arrows celebrate 50 years as a display team, returning to RAF Fairford for the Royal International Air Tattoo.
Almost everybody has a vivid childhood memory of seeing, or yearning to see, those nine readily recognisable jets roaring over the horizon, locked in symmetrical formation and leaving vibrant red, white and blue ribbons of vapour in the sky.Numerous display teams blazed a trail above Britain before the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team debuted in 1964, but the Red Arrows – as they became known – soon acquired iconic status, bringing together the RAF’s elite pilots and cutting-edge technology. It was a feeling of relief that the whole thing was coming to an end and we weren't going to be shot at any more." Be the first to contribute!
