The distinctive red flying suit and helmet of a Red Arrows pilot represent the pinnacle of RAF flying training, precision and teamwork.
Every display requires careful preparation. Pilots must fly complex formations at high speed while maintaining extremely small distances between their aircraft. Their performance depends on trust, communication and many hours of training.
The Red Arrows also rely on engineers, technicians and support personnel who maintain the aircraft and help deliver displays around the world.
Together, these objects introduce the exhibition’s Prepare theme and recognise the many different people whose work makes an RAF operation possible.
