A brief history of the Red Arrows,

For almost 50 years the Red Arrows, regarded as one of the best aerobatics teams in the world, have given thousands of displays without a death in public.
At speeds of 300 knots, their aircraft fly within inches of each other and often daringly close to the ground.
But pilots from the unit have paid the ultimate price with a series of deaths in training.
The most recent was in 1988 when Flt Lt Neil MacLachlan died during a crash at RAF Scampton, while practising a manoeuvre known as a roll back.
The worst loss of life suffered by the team was during practice at their base in January 1971, when two of their planes clipped each other during a crossover manoeuvre and crashed, killing Flight Lieutenants Euan Perreaux, John Lewis, John Haddock and Colin Armstrong.

Rest in peace Red 4 Eggman.
Our thoughts go to your wife Emma, family, friends and the Red Arrows Team
