Hey people, here's my info i gather from Wikipedia. (:

The Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, is the aerobatics display team of the Royal Air Force, based at RAF Scampton, Lincolnshire, UK. They were formed in late 1964 as an all-RAF team, replacing a number of unofficial teams that had been sponsored by RAF commands.

-Pilots-

The team for the 2010 display season is:

§ Red One: Squadron Leader Ben Murphy

§ Red Two: Flight Lieutenant Ben Plank

§ Red Three: Flight Lieutenant Kirsty Moore

§ Red Four: Flight Lieutenant Dave Davies

§ Red Five: Flight Lieutenant Zane Sennett

§ Red Six: Flight Lieutenant Paul "Pablo" O'Grady (Synchro Leader)

§ Red Seven: Flight Lieutenant David "Monty" Montenegro

§ Red Eight: Squadron Leader Graham "Duffy" Duff

§ Red Nine (and executive officer): Flight Lieutenant Simon "Kermit" Rea

§ Red Ten (Road Manager): Squadron Leader Graeme Bagnall

§ Red Eleven Wing Commander: David Firth-Wigglesworth

-Aircraft-

The Red Arrows do not use front-line aircraft because of operating costs. The team uses the RAF's advanced jet trainer, the BAE Hawk T1A, built at Brough in the East Riding of Yorkshire. While the Hawk is very basic compared to the much more modern Eurofighter Typhoon, it is still fast enough and very manoeuvrable, ideal for low-altitude aerobatics. The plane also does not have a sat nav or radar or onboard computer. The Red Arrows normally cruise at 360 knots (one nautical mile every 10 seconds).

-Others-

The smoke trails left by the team are made by releasing diesel into the exhaust; this oxidises straight away,leaving a white smoke trail. Dyes can be added to produce the red and blue colour. The diesel is stored in the pod on the underside of the plane; designed to carry a 30 mm ADEN cannon, it now houses three tanks: one 50-gallon tank of pure diesel and two 10-gallon tanks of blue- and red-dyed diesel. The smoke system uses ten gallons per minute; therefore each plane can trail smoke for a total of seven minutes; (5 minutes of white smoke, 1 minute of blue and 1 minute of red is carried).
