DVD: THE STORY OF THE RED ARROWSFor over 50 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. 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. Through fantastic archive and display footage, we tell the story of The Red Arrows from their beginnings in 1964 right through to today.MAGAZINE: STORY OF THE RED ARROWSThe Red Arrows are the world's greatest aerobatic display team.
