EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Royal Air Force (RAF) Folland Gnat T.1 trainers of the renowned Red Arrows aerobatics team are seen preparing to return to their base at RAF Little Rissington following an extensive airshow itinerary. Circa 1970, the image captures the essence of a bygone era in aviation history. The Red Arrows, established in 1965, were the RAF's official aerobatics team, and the Folland Gnat T.1 trainers were their primary aircraft. These versatile and agile jets, with their iconic red, white, and blue paint scheme, became synonymous with the team's awe-inspiring displays. As they taxi along the runway, the pilots, dressed in their distinctive red uniforms, prepare for the final leg of their journey. The ground crew, clad in their high-visibility orange overalls, work diligently to ensure that the aircraft are properly secured and prepared for the journey back to their base. In the background, the hangars and support facilities of RAF Little Rissington can be seen, a testament to the logistical efforts required to keep the Red Arrows in the air. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of aeronautical flight and transportation in the military context, as well as the skill and dedication of the pilots and ground personnel who made these breathtaking displays possible. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the world of military aviation during a time when the Red Arrows and their Folland Gnat T.1 trainers were at the forefront of aerobatic excellence.
