Jersey Post issued a set of six stamps and a Souvenir Sheetlet on 11th July in celebration of the Red Arrows’ 50th display season.
The stamps feature dynamic photographs from the Red Arrows’ incredible displays, including four images captured by local photographer Andy Le Gresley during the 2012 Jersey Air Display and two images supplied by the Red Arrows official photographers.
Acknowledged as one of the world’s premier aerobatic teams, the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, is the public face of the Royal Air Force acting as ambassadors of Great Britain. In addition to demonstrating the professional excellence of the Royal Air Force and its skilled, well-trained people, the Red Arrows support wider British interests overseas, as well as helping more than 500 charities every year.
Since the team’s creation in 1965, the Red Arrows have flown over 4,000 displays in 52 countries, including the Channel Islands every September as part of the Battle of Britain week. For 2014, a new tailfin design has been unveiled to celebrate the Red Arrows 50thdisplay season. In the shape of a Union flag, the striking new tail design reflects the Best of British and is the most significant change to the look of the famous aircraft in its history.
