THE STORY OF THE RED ARROWS DVD: For over 40 years The Red Arrows have been thrilling crowds at air shows both across the UK and internationally. They are quite simply the best at what they do. The Red Arrows, officially the Royal Air Force Display Team, are the public face of the RAF, formally promoting recruitment, as well as providing inspiration to significant numbers of those who join the Royal Air Force. Starting out as The Yellowjacks in the early Sixties, the Reds officially took to the skies in 1965 flying the Folland Gnat before transferring to the BAE Hawk advanced trainer in 1979. The pilots are renowned for their precision, and with such professional excellence, it is little wonder that The Red Arrows never fail to enthrall with their breathtaking displays. Although demanding training routines and years of operational flying experience certainly contribute to this magnificent team s continued position as the premier team in the world, The Red Arrows pole position is not just down to the pilots or their British aircraft... there is a huge support network necessary to maintain their place as the world s top aerobatic display team. Through fantastic archive and display footage, we tell the story of The Red Arrows from their beginnings in 1964 right through to today. (60 min) STORY OF THE RED ARROWS BOOK: The Red Arrows are the world s greatest aerobatic display team. For decades they have thrilled crowds with their exciting mix of precision formation flying and breathtaking aerobatic manoeuvres. They promote British industry; they represent the Royal Air Force with huge distinction; and they help with recruitment for the British armed forces. But above all they are the great entertainers, performing for millions of people all round the world. Packed with fabulous photographs, many of them being seen for the first time, The Story of the Red Arrows explores the history behind the team, its pilots and crew and its instantly recognisable red aircraft, first Gnats and now Hawks. Read about the team s greatest moments - the triumphant tours to the USA, the Middle East and Far East, topping the bill at the Farnborough Air Show and their elevation from the early beginnings in the 1960s to superstar status almost 50 years later - but also their worst times as the team came to terms with tragedy and threat.
