They started on the Folland Gnat and switched to the Hawk T1 for the 1980 season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1968 the team has displayed with nine aircraft, and the Diamond Nine remains its trademark shape. After decades at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire, the team moved to nearby RAF Waddington in 2022 when Scampton closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach display opens with the whole formation flying loops, rolls and shape changes, which is where the Apollo formation appears. The smoke is diesel mixed with dye, injected into the jet exhaust, and it also helps the pilots judge wind and spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAircraft: BAE Systems Hawk T1 advanced jet trainer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRole: Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, displaying since 1965\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerplant: one Rolls-Royce\/Turbomeca Adour Mk 151 turbofan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHome base: RAF Waddington, Lincolnshire, formerly RAF Scampton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotable fact: almost 5,000 displays in 57 countries by early 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay context: Apollo formation loop during the first half of the show at RIAT, RAF Fairford\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch5\u003eThe print\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted to order in the UK on museum quality fine art cotton photo rag.
