History of the Red Arrows
The RAF had several display teams in the 1950s and 1960s, but decided to form a single, full-time professional team
The name Red Arrows was chosen to combine the appeal and expertise of two earlier teams, the Black Arrows and the Red Pelicans
The team was founded in 1965 at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and is currently based at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire
