Product description:The painting is entitled the Red Arrows after the British flying demonstration team. The Red Arrows were formed in 1965. The painting is accompanied by the popular song of that era I want To Hold Your Hand by the British singing group The Beatles. A decision to create only one aerobatic team which will have to present the abilities of RAF aircraft was made. It was decided this team will fly on red-painted Gnat airplanes. In 1980, the Gnat was replaced with their current aircraft, the BAE Systems Hawk Mk1. The aircraft is used with the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, based at RAF Scampton, in addition to the flight test and evaluation unit at MoD Boscombe Down. The scene is based on a Scottish country side scene. Some Hawk T Mk1 capabilities are:
