Red Arrows unveils union jack tail fin to celebrate 50 years in the air
Royal Air Force aerobatic team, the Red Arrows, has launched a new Union flag-inspired design on its world-famous jets.
The team’s Hawk aircraft have designed a Union Flag on their tailfins, viewable by millions of people every year, when the Red Arrows display both at home and overseas.
Squadron leader David Montenegro, who will lead the team as Red 1 for the first time in 2015, said: “The new tailfin perfectly illustrates the spirit of the Red Arrows - representing the UK, our engineering excellence and the continuing capability of the Royal Air Force to protect our skies.
“To have this ability, to keep spreading the message and promoting the UK in this unique powerful way around the world, is invaluable.”
