Diamond Drive catches all nine Red Arrows pulling up as one, the formation tipping over the top while a wall of white smoke pours away beneath them and the sky behind goes deep blue.
This is an original Marqforde photograph of the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, taken from the crowd line as the full nine-ship went vertical with the smoke on. The trails are what give the picture its scale: nine jets, nine columns, one shape.
About the team
Since 1968 the team has displayed with nine aircraft, and the Diamond Nine remains its trademark shape. Each display opens with the whole formation flying loops, rolls and shape changes before the team splits into its two sections for the second half.
Red Arrows applicants need at least 1,500 flying hours and an above-average assessment in their flying role. Up to three join each year, usually for a three-year tour, and the Team Leader, Red 1, must already have flown a tour as a team pilot.
Public Display Authority, granted after a final assessment by senior officers, is when pilots swap green coveralls for red flying suits and the engineers, known as the Blues, change into blue display coveralls. Ten technicians form the Circus, flying in the rear seats on transits.

- Display context: nine-jet climb trailing white smoke against a deep blue sky
