EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the RAF Red Arrows formation team makes their grand entrance into RAF Binbrook in August 1982. The British Royal Air Force (RAF) aerobatics team, flying their BAe Systems Hawks, approaches the airfield in a breathtaking display of precision and skill. The Red Arrows, formed in 1965, are renowned for their dynamic and intricate aerial manoeuvres, and their arrival at Binbrook Airfield was an eagerly anticipated event for aviation enthusiasts and local residents alike. The team's distinctive red, white, and blue Hawks glint in the sun as they form up in a V-shaped formation, ready to put on a thrilling show for the crowds. The BAe Systems Hawk is a versatile and advanced jet trainer, which has been in service with the RAF since 1976. It was designed and manufactured by British Aerospace, now known as BAE Systems, and has been used by the Red Arrows since 1980. The Hawk's agility and manoeuvrability make it the perfect aircraft for the team's demanding displays. The photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of the Red Arrows' arrival at Binbrook Airfield, with the crowd gathered at the edge of the runway, cameras at the ready. The team's arrival marked the start of a series of aerial displays and practice sessions that would thrill and inspire generations of aviation enthusiasts. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the RAF Red Arrows and the rich history of British aviation.
