Red Arrows – The Official 40th Display Season Souvenir Issue

The Red Arrows performed their first display 40 years ago, at the time flying the diminutive Folland Gnat. In 1980 they flew their first season with their current mount - the BAE Systems Hawk and have enjoyed great success with this leading advanced trainer. The team have flown displays all around the world and entertained millions of spectators. They are still the definitive military aerobatic display team, recognised everywhere they go by the bright red aircraft and bright red flying suits.

This special 100-page magazine pays tribute to the RAF's best and details their history, the aircraft they have flown, lists all the team members for the past 40 years and looks behind the scenes at the team's support elements.
