Where the Red Arrows fly,they emit special red,white and blue vapour known as the smoke.

While giving a stellar show to the audience,it is used by pilots to judge wind speed and direction and to find each other for formation again after flying several miles apart.

Keeping the Red Arrows flying is known as the ‘Circus’ as each plane requires a team of technicians to keep it flying.

The team comprises 11 pilots,100 engineers and support staff.

Anyone dreaming of becoming a Red Arrow pilot needs to have a minimum of 1,500 flying hours under their belt,have completed a frontline,operational tour and be assessed above average as a pilot.

The arrows moved there in late 2022 after 40 years at RAF Scampton.
