The Red Arrows

BBC One
on BBC One London

The world's greatest aerobatic team

The Red Arrows are much more than nine RAF officers doing their duty. They are heirs to 60 years of flying history. At Kemble in Gloucestershire they train for four months to create their famous aerobatic display.

"We are trying to show people in this country and abroad what the RAF is all about." (Sqn-Ldr Ian Dick)

This film was made during their training season, when they pit their skill against the dangers of high-speed aerobatics. It was made while the Red Arrows prepared for their summer programme and for their first tour of the United States of America.
