| Additional information |
The Red Arrows — formally No. 1 Aerobatic Display Team, RAF — flew their first public display in 1965 at Clermont-Ferrand, France, a detail often lost in anniversary commemorations fixated on domestic milestones. By 2014, the team had logged well over 4,500 displays across roughly 57 countries. Jersey's involvement is purely commercial; the Bailiwick has no RAF station and no operational connection to the team.
