Red Devils
|
|
The freefall display team of the *Parachute Regiment. They were formed in 1963 and the following year adopted their uniform of red jumpsuits and the name of Red Devils. Trailing plumes of coloured smoke, they 'swim' into a succession of formations as they fall, passing through hoops held for each other and landing in front of the public – often within target areas only a few yards across.
