  • Red Arrows Flt Lt Mike J Child, Red 9, Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team (The Red Arrows)
    6 November 2012 Life with the Red Arrows Flt Lt Mike J Child, Red 9, Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team (The Red Arrows) 1. Introduction This lecture described the history of formation display, the Red Arrows team, the selection of new pilots, the Red Arrows aircraft, the methodology behind the training, the displays and finally the wider roles of the Red Arrows. The lecture included a series of video sequences showing both the historical aspects of display flying and the present day Red Arrows demonstration programme. 2. History Close formation flying has been taught since the days of the Royal Flying Corps in WWI. Such flying proved to be the most efficient method of getting large numbers of aircraft from A to B. It also encouraged pilots to fly their aircraft to their performance limits. By the 1930s the Royal Air Force (RAF) was fighting for its independence and therefore decided to initiate a series of public demonstrations of its capabilities. These included the now famous Hendon Air Displays in which the RAF showed off both its aerobatics and formation flying skills. At the end of WWII all fast jet squadrons wanted to have a demonstration flight. By the 1950s no fast jet squadron was without a display capability. Famous demonstration flights of that era included the Yellow Jacks, the Black Arrows and the Red Pelicans. However, the cost of maintaining such flights became unacceptable. As a result, in 1964, the Air Council ruled that only training units could include demonstration flights. This resulted in the formation of the Red Arrows.
