The Red Arrows, the world’s best known acrobatic display team, is the product of a long tradition of excellence in RAF air show flying.
At air shows throughout the world, they perform as some of Britain’s finest ambassadors. This DVD traces the ancestry of the team, through to its present day displays, showing how the Red Arrows have maintained their reputation for reliability and professionalism and have always lived up to their squadron motto “ECAT” which means “EXCELLENCE”.
Now you are in the cockpit, hearing the leader's every command and sharing in every exciting manoeuvre. The cameras of veteran aerial photogrpaher Arthur Gibson are your guide, first sky-high with the "Gnats", the Red Arrows' small jet, and then in the powerful new generation "Hawks" flying today. Now you have a lasting memento of the more than 2000 daring intricate displays the team has performed before millions in 42 countries, and of the consummate skill of its pilots.
