Description
The Royal Air Force combined its three aerobatic display teams into one elite group in 1964, dubbed 'the Red Arrows.' Both the name and the colour palette were inspired by the Red Pelicans and the Black Arrows, respectively. The Gnat, the chosen aircraft, had previously been flown by the Yellowjacks. The Red Arrows are renowned for the calibre of their performances, and becoming a pilot with them is a tremendous honour. RAF pilots must have at least 1, 500 flying hours, have served in the front lines, and be rated above average in order to be eligible to apply for selection. Steve Smith, who currently owns it and is from the West Midlands, purchased it in 2011 and is an active participant in the Split Screen Van Club. The first dealer outside of Germany to sell VWs, Dutchman Ben Pons, sketched a sketch of a Lieferwagen (light delivery van) in 1947 because he thought there was a demand for it in Holland. This is where the history of the VW Type 2 begins. The idea was developed by VW engineers, who debuted the first vans in 1949. Due to the engine's low output, aerodynamics received a lot of attention. By adding the V-shaped front, engineers were able to reduce the initial prototype's drag coefficient from 0. 75 to 0. 48 utilising the wind tunnel at the Technical University in Braunschweig.
