The Red Arrows aerobatic team has revealed the first livery change in its history, after unveiling a newly redesigned tail fin.
Sky News was given exclusive access to film the team's nine pilots at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire as they headed into the skies with their new-look Hawk T1s, featuring elements from the Union Flag.
It replaces a one-off tailfin design brought in for 2014 to mark the Red Arrows' 50th display year.
Squadron Leader David Montenegro, known as Red 1, said: "This year we have put a new tailfin on which really signifies the next 50 years of the team, continuing to represent all of the RAF personnel that protect and defend the United Kingdom."
As the new team leader, it is his job to choreograph the display that will be performed around 80 times between May and September.
