I agree they are a superb acrobatic team, but the original poster had
a picture of an aircraft with SWISS markings. It was not a Red Arrow,
unless they have changed to having the Swiss flag painted on their
underside.

Taken by me at Leuchars Airshow, Scotland.

Identification desired.

Think this link will settle it. This looks like your bird.

Look at the two link- collector tanks. They were a Hunter
modification known as "Sabrinas". Ask anyone who was in the UK in
the 60s and they''ll tell you who she was! (Probably)

Seem to remember that she was the one 'found' by Ken Dodd.

If so then this is her in the 60's

From an old slide

Keith J Chesworth

It was actually Arthur Askey who discovered her.

The only relationship between this and the aircraft originally posted is the
the Hawker Hunter was manufactured at Blackpool.

Same lens as me, but I only have the 10D.

I'll accept that. Presumably he enjoyed the shade!

I remember that KD seemed to have her or someone like her about for a
long time.

The model of plane I don't know, but it looks like one used by the famous
Red Arrows aerobatic display team.

Google "Red Arrows". I think they have their own website.
