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.

The Red Arrows have a prominent place in British popular culture, with their aerobatic displays a fixture of British summer events. The badge of the Red Arrows shows the aircraft in their trademark diamond nine formation, with the motto Éclat, a French word meaning "brilliance" or "excellence".

Initially, they were equipped with seven Folland Gnat trainers inherited from the RAF Yellowjacks display team. This aircraft was chosen because it was less expensive to operate than front-line fighters. In their first season, they flew at 65 shows across Europe. In 1966, the team was increased to nine members, enabling them to develop their Diamond Nine formation. In late 1979, they switched to the BAE Hawk trainer. The Red Arrows have performed over 4,800 displays in 57 countries worldwide.

How many Red Arrows, also known as the Royal Air Force aerobatic team, usually perform during a display?

The Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, is the aerobatics display team of the Royal Air Force (RAF). The team was formed in 1964 and is popular for its aerobatic displays during British summer events. Originally, the team consisted of seven Folland Gnat planes, but this was increased in 1966 to nine, which enables them to fly in a 'Diamond Nine' formation. Since 1979, they have used British Aerospace (BAE) Hawk planes and have performed in nearly 5,000 displays.

The first private Red Arrows display took place at Little Rissington on 6th May 1965, although with only seven planes. The first public display was on 9th May 1965 in France, with the first public display in the UK taking place six days later. The first display with nine aircraft was on 8th July 1966 at Little Rissington.

The Red Arrows have flown in 57 countries since 1964, but the majority of their displays take place in the United Kingdom. As of March 2023, the last Red Arrows display took place on 2nd June 2022 as part of the Platinum Jubilee of the late Elizabeth II. The Queen and Royal Family observed the flypast from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

During displays, the Red Arrows release a stream of white smoke, which at carefully timed moments, is mixed with red and blue dye to leave a coloured trail across the sky. Originally, the planes used diesel to create the smoke, but since 2021 have been working on an environmentally friendly smoke system.

G-ARYC, DH125, Filton by Gordon Riley Via Flickr: DH125 (G-ARYC) was the first production aircraft, built at Chester in 1963 and used for Viper engine development, later for liaison between Filton and Toulouse for Concorde. It was moved to the Mosquito Aircraft Museum in 1979. In its various later guises (with Hawker Siddeley, Beechcraft, British Aerospace, Raytheon) the 125 became one of the World’s most successful business jets. Viper 600 development - see caption photo for details. Folland Gnat XM694 in the background. “XM694 was the third development aircraft for the T.1 and retains the short nose without landing light. First flown on 29th May 1960, after her career with the A&AEE in the development phase, XM694 was transferred to Bristol-Siddeley Engines Ltd. for engine testbed use until 1974 when she was transferred to RAE Bedford. She didn't fly with them for long before becoming a ground test vehicle being taxied at high speed into various crash barriers. Retired to instructional use with the apprentices there, she was eventually disposed of and ended up at Pima Air Museum.”

I wanted to share some of my transformers ocs

Flinch (he/him) is a folland gnat. He chips off his paint due to anxiety, but he's surprisingly good with mele weapons

Deepblaze (he/him) is a sukhoi su-27. He's like the glue that keeps their little group together, he's big but he's surprisingly gentle with people he cares about

Glide (they/them) is an f-15 eagle, just a standard seeker. They're not much of a fighter, but they're a good medic

(If anyone for whatever reason wants to make art of them, please tag me, I'd love to see it)

Back page feature on the Hawker Siddeley Gnat trainer jet. The plane was previously known as the Folland Gnat (Hawker Siddeley having acquired Folland Aircraft in 1959). The Gnat was never used as a fighter by the RAF and it's main claim to fame was as the original jet used by the Red Arrows.
