EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the RAF Red Arrows, the Royal Air Force's prestigious aerobatics team, can be seen performing the "Vixen Break" maneuver with their BAe Systems Hawks at the RAF Cosford Air Show in April 1982. The Red Arrows, an essential part of the United Kingdom's military aviation heritage, have been thrilling audiences since their inception in 1965. The BAe Systems Hawk, a versatile and agile jet trainer, was the mount of the Red Arrows during the late 1970s and 1980s. This image captures the team in their element, showcasing the Hawks' impressive capabilities in a breathtaking display of precision and skill. The Vixen Break, a dynamic formation maneuver, involves the lead Hawk executing a high-speed roll while the rest of the team flies in close formation, creating a visually stunning moment. The RAF Cosford Air Show, held at RAF Cosford in Shropshire, England, was a popular event in the aviation calendar. The 1982 edition of the show drew large crowds, who were treated to an array of aerial displays, aircraft demonstrations, and static exhibits. The Red Arrows' performance, as seen in this photograph, was a highlight of the show, leaving the audience in awe of the skill and dedication of the team. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the Royal Air Force and the important role that the Red Arrows and BAe Systems Hawks have played in the annals of military aviation. It is a reminder of the thrill and excitement that aviation brings to people and the enduring appeal of the Red Arrows as a symbol of the United Kingdom's proud military heritage.
