    The thing I admire most about the Red Arrows is they fly much older jets than other display teams which don’t have all the modern State-of-the-Art computers that help balance and fly the aircraft. It’s pure flying skills, which is why they’re so admired worldwide.

    I have seen them many times over the years as a HUGE airshow fan. They never put on anything less than an amazing show, one memory that particularly stands out is when they flew in led by a Spitfire. The Spit was going as fast as it possibly could and the jets were going so slow they were trying not to fall out the sky but it looked so amazing its still one of my favourite moments in life

      My (army) unit was at RAF Old Sarum back in the mid 70s. The Joint Warfare Establishment was also on the camp and visiting officers were being given a display by the Red Arrows. I think they still had Gnats at the time and we were given a very low level view as they flew to and fro over the old airfield. Fantastic!

      I live in an area of England where they perform about 6 times a year, plus as ex Royal navy I saw them regularly at Navy air days and the navy weeks in the big UK Naval stations. they do get a bit mundane when you see them, or any other display team about 10 to 12 times a year. However they regularly win the RIAT (this particular film comes from the RIAT air show) best display team in the world, competing against all of the other top international fighter display teams, like the Blue angels, the Thunder birds, the French Patroille De France, and the like (oh the judges are not English as well), So that says just how good they really are.

    When you’re at an air show and being told, over the PA, that the RAs are taking off, miles away, and getting updates every few minutes, it’s so exciting, no matter how many times you’ve seen them. I’m one of the fortunate people who grew up near an RAF base that hosted annual air shows and saw the RAs for free every year, often practising before the show, too. We had the ‘disruption’ of the big planes constantly flying over - like you, Natasha - rattling the house and making things fall off of shelves, but it was so worth it to get regular parachute displays and the annual Red Arrows. I get a patriotic tear in my eye when I watch them. That’s why I’m back here a year or so after the video was posted.

    They used to do a big airshow in Biggin Hill, an aerodrome in the south east of England and we used to get all the planes for the show fly over my garden. we still occasionally see the Red Arrows fly to Eastbourne for that airshow and they fly everywhere in close formation. It's always such a pleasure to see them.
    One of the things that really upsets me is that the defence office has cut back massively on the big military shows. My favourite childhood memories was going to the Royal Tournament in Earls Court and getting to see and talk to the service people (mostly men in those days). As a kid it was truly a wonderful experience. I had a paratrooper costume that was my pride and joy when I was about 7 and having real Paras come up to me and salute me before sorting out my beret and uniform, teaching me to stand to attention and things like that... just a kids dream come true. Not to mention it was such a vital connection between our service people and the public which can only be a bad thing to have lost in the long run.... Oops that turned into a trip down memory lane and a little rant. But yeah, the red arrows are something to make sure you see live if you haven't. I'm hoping to see the blue angels when I'm next over the pond!

    I have seen the Red Arrows display many times ever since I was a small boy. They are the source of great national pride. Their aeroplanes are British Aerospace Hawks, when they were formed in the mid sixties they used a tiny jet trainer called a Folland Gnat, they were even prettier. I was at the RIAT in 2018 and saw that display. I was at the TT races in the mid 80's and saw them perform over Douglas Bay. I was stood on a big hill just north of the town (now granted city status by HMQ) and was looking down at most of the show, it gave a very different perspective.
    Their current base (which is due to close very soon and the Arrows will be moved) is about twenty-five miles as the crow flies from my home, so occasionally they fly over in transit. We could see them practicing in the winter from the roof of the Fire Training School roof when I worked there.
    I am very glad that you enjoyed seeing them so much. About fifteen years ago the Blue Angels were touring the European air displays and I was lucky enough to see them at the show at RAF Waddington near Lincoln. They were very, very good, but their display style is different partially because their aeroplanes are so much bigger and more powerful.
    Many happy returns Nanny Violet! xx

    Hi again
    Similar to Kathryn, I grew up near Lincoln were there was a number of RAF bases and we had Vulcans, Tornadoes, Warthogs and....the red arrows regularly fly over our house.
    We lived in the countryside and the RAF used to fly so low over the house. One second it was birds tweeting away and then a Tornado would scare the devil out of you as it screamed passed. There was like a woosh noise afterwards too due to the disturbed air in the wake of the jet.
    I can remember once, my dad and I were putting a new roof on the barn and the red arrows started to practise their show in above our field.
    We just sat on the scaffolding, opened the flask of tea and watched them, it was brilliant, best memory ever.
    They also did the head on manover, where two plans head straight at each other and then turn side on and just miss each other, right in front of where we where sat, I thought that I could have touched them they were that close.
    My dad's passed away now but thanks to the red arrows I have one of the best father and son memories ever.

I have told people this and they don't believe me but I swear it's true. On another occasion I was on a train going through Dawlish, Devon. One of the planes briefly flew parallel to the train. I could quite clearly see the pilot.

      _The Red Pelicans were one of a number of aerobatics display teams of the Royal Air Force before the Red Arrows were selected to represent the service in 1965. The Red Pelicans flew the BAC Jet Provost aircraft_

    Our beloved Queen stopped the government from getting rid of the Red Arrows. I’ve watched these since I was very young I’m now 65. They use to do a show near where I live look Finningley RAF it’s now a airport. Also the Valcan look that up.

    Lucky enough to be near by the base they fly from. Often see them up in the air practising. RAF Memorial flight is another great sight. Lancaster bomber, a Spitfire and Hurricane fighters

    I've seen the Arrows many times as a kid but the last time I saw a heart drawn in the sky was a Typhoon pilot down in the Falklands Islands. I was attached to 16 RA (sphinx) rent (Rapier Air defence unit) as a medic, they were having an exercise on the islands with the typhoon pilots playing the enemy. At the end of the exercise the typhoon pilot gave the ground units a the love heart before he returned to base (I didn't have my smart phone just a cheap and nasty pay as you talk without a camera - remember those phone :0) ). Truly awesome! great video ladies.

    I was cleaning the windows on my balcony with my sons. We heard them returning to there base after a show We live on the side of a hill and the were about roof hight. Coming straight for us. We started to wave as they flew over they put on white smoke and We're waving back. They shook the windows . They are stunning to look at and the sound you never forget.

    Omg!!! I just had to tell you!!! I watched your video this morning and loved every second. Later on I had to make a long journey for my work tomorrow in the north of England. I had to take a diversion as a large section of the motorway was closed due to an accident, and there were so many traffic lights I was getting bored! Then I was waiting at yet another red light and you’ll never believe it, but the Red Arrow flew across almost over the top of me! It was so loud!!!! That was one red traffic light I was glad to be stuck at! I can just imagine what you ladies would have been like!! 😮

    Hi! Still loving your videos! I am a bit of a aero nut. My dad used to design engines for fighter planes, and I lived in MD for a year & lived with one of the guys who flew Airforce 1. He invited my Dad over to stay & took us to an event at Andrews. He said the Blue Angels are "nothing" compared to the Red Arrows. Maybe it is one of those things, when you know, you know!? The skill difference is incomparable. American's are the best at many things, but Britain kicks ass at more things than the USA will ever be willing to give us credit for. I love you both. Your channel is ace. Thank you! x

    When i first started work, we used to deliver Laundy to RAF West Malling now no more and a very low key base by them, while there we were told The Red Arrows would be rehearsing overhead before going on to another display. West Malling was not their home base. We were able to walk out to the runway to watch, and were surprised when they dived in low and just skimmed at break neck speed over our heads, was the first time i saw them and this was back in the 60's. We were also visiting when the Beatles were there filming Magical Mystery Tour. Will never forget

  • @robinholland1136

    I've lost count of the number of times I have seen the Red Arrows over the years and they never fail to thrill. The skill, dedication and meticulous attention to detail displayed by these pilots and those who support them are second to none. I have a colleague whose husband, recently retired from the service, was a pilot on the team. He now teaches aerobatics to civilians. I only found out when his young son blurted it out to me. He laughingly shrugged it off, telling his son that he should stop mentioning it to everybody, as if it were nothing to write home about. As is the case, those who do the most incredible things are often the least likely to want to blow their own trumpet.
    I hope that you will be able to see the Red Arrows 'live' some time. Best wishes to you both from the UK.

    Hi ladies i live in the UK and there is the biggest air show in the UK in a small place called Farnborough that goes on for a week and it's about 3 miles away from my home and the noise is incredible and yes they are very impressive but it's the jet fighters and the huge plane that makes my windows shack and i totally agree the noise gives me goosebumps 🍻🙏

      Not anymore unfortunately. TAG have ruined it now, no more public days, barely any aircraft 😢
      I grew up watching it from my parents back garden in a neighbouring town, remember back when concorde used to land at Farnborough. I used to take off two weeks every other year just to watch it, cycling round to the back of the airfield, with the Red Arrows and jets taking off over your head, so amazing.

    The Red Arrows used to fly over our house en route to their training areas,always loved seeing them.Love your videos, and your reactions to stuff that we grew up with and seem "normal" to us.You should check out a guy called Fred Dibnah,sadly no longer with us,but an absolute legend. He was a Steeplejack by trade,and one video shows him climbing a factory chimney without any harness or safety gear,all 200 feet of it.Keep the videos coming ladies!

    The aircraft are BAE Hawks and your navy uses them as Goshawks. And out of interest, the Reds forefathers , the "Black Arrows, still hold the record for a 22 aircraft loop....that was spectacular.
