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 badge 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 4,700 displays in 56 countries worldwide.
The Red Arrows were not the first RAF aerobatics team. An RAF pageant was held at Hendon in 1920 with teams from front-line biplane squadrons.
RIAT 2014 RAF Red Arrows Congratulations on your 50th Display season !
At the time of 1964 the RAF decided to amalgamate all their aerobatic teams, and have just one full-time team. They set up a new team for 1965 usng 7 Folland Gnats, and called them "The Red Arrows" - the rest is history . . . . . . 50 years on from the very first UK display at Biggin Hill on 15th May 1965, they have performed well over 4500 displays in 53 coutries, plus hundreds of famous flypasts with Concorde, A380, F22 Raptor, etc . . . This video shows the team in 2014 at the most recent of their UK displays, and some very spectacular shots of the team leaving and rriving back at RAF Scampton, their home base.

The finest Aerobatic Tearn in the world, is how many describe the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, The Red Arrows. This programme has been produced to tell the story, not only of the manoewres and the careful preparations for the 130-plus Air Displays performed each year by the team, but also to give the story of the men themselves, their hopes, their fears, their hobbles, and of their future outside of the Red Arrows team. Each pilot serves a 3-year term as a member of this flying elite, and competition from top Aviators in the Service to gain a place in the team is very tough. Team Leader, Sqdn. Ldr. John Blackwell takes us through each manoeuvre stage by stage, phase by phase. It will give Aviation enthusiasts and followers of the Red Arrows alike, a unique insight into the discipline ...
