THE BLACK ARROWS, a name that conjures up the peacetime drama and excitement of the Royal Air Force. Prior to 1955, the RAF did not have an official aerobatics team at all - air shows were left to local commanders to organize whatever displays they could. In 1955, 54 Squadron flew a formation of four Hawker Hunter aircraft. In 1956 the team dressed in black flying suits called themselves The Black Knights. Later that year 111 or Treble One Squadron provided the first official RAF display team and the aircraft were all painted black. After a performance in France they were applauded as Les Fleches Noir, the name stuck and was translated as The Black Arrows. Initially, the Black Arrows were five Hunters and by 1957 the team increased to a nine ship formation, looping and rolling in glorious unison. Each season new manoeuvres and stunning formations, including the Bomb Burst, were added to excite the crowds even more. At the 1958 Farnborough Air Show, the Black Arrows stunned the world with a record breaking loop and barrel roll, using no less than twenty-two Hunters which was, and is, the greatest number of aircraft ever looped in formation. Strike Force Entertainment bring you the most comprehensive film history of the award winning Black Arrows from the team's inception to its finale in 1961, when the squadron was re-equipped with the English Electric Lightning. Later in the decade the Red Arrows were born and continued where The Black Arrows left off.
