Smoke On Go! The Red Arrows 1983 documentary

The finest Aerobatic Tearn in the world, is how many describe the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, The Red Arrows. This programme has been produced to tell the story, not only of the manoewres and the careful preparations for the 130-plus Air Displays performed each year by the team, but also to give the story of the men themselves, their hopes, their fears, their hobbles, and of their future outside of the Red Arrows team.

Each pilot serves a 3-year term as a member of this flying elite, and competition from top Aviators in the Service to gain a place in the team is very tough. Team Leader, Sqdn. Ldr. John Blackwell takes us through each manoeuvre stage by stage, phase by phase. It will give Aviation enthusiasts and followers of the Red Arrows alike, a unique insight into the discipline and the pressures involved in being a member of the Red Arrows.

The 55 minute colour programme contains superb and unique flying sequences which will quicken the pulse of young and old alike.
