The Red Arrows website states: "The team are members of the Armed Forces and are proud to represent the UK. Many of the pilots and other members of the team joined the Royal Air Force as a direct result of seeing the Red Arrows perform as children.", reports the Mirror.
The Red Arrows, formed at RAF Waddington, in Lincolnshire, during the mid-1960s, made their British debut at the Biggin Hill International Air Fair, a former World War II fighter station in southeast London. In 2021, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) sought assistance from the civil sector to develop an eco-friendly smoke system for the team's aircraft, as part of its commitment to make the RAF net-zero by 2040.
