DIAMOND NINE - Of all the formations flown by the Red Arrows, Diamond Nine is the most recognisable, and indeed has become the team's signature formation, which means that it features in the display every year. When watching the Red Arrows in Diamond Nine formation, look for symmetry between the left- and right-hand sides, and for the formation to be of good length.
The team have their own position within each formation, and they all follow the leader. Red 6 has the easiest job, as he flies mainly in line astern (directly behind the leader). The situation is a little more complicated for Reds 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9, who each have other aircraft between them and Red 1.
In this case, the principle that applies is that they line themselves up on the leader to maintain the correct position, but in a slightly different way. They take one reference from the aircraft closest to them and draw another line (or reference) by lining up the leader's head with the head of the pilot in the aircraft which is next to them.

Royal Air Force BAE Hawk T.1A XX242 of the Red Arrows display team comes in to land at Farnborough during the 2014 Air Show. 2014 marked the 50th season of shows for the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team
A Cessna Citation trails the Red Arrows along the taxiway at Farnborough. I bet the Cessna pilot got a kick out of that!
The nine Red Arrows display aircraft are supported by a spare in case of a problem. Sadly, the team is not permitted to display at Farnborough any more, and just performed flypasts through the weekend. This is for safety reasons, following the Shoreham accident.
"The UK Government and BAE Systems are proud to be part of the Helsinki 100 Anniversary Air Show, one of the prestigious events marking Finland’s year of centenary celebrations.
And as a gift to Finland from the UK, the world famous Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, will bring their spectacular aerial display to the skies over Helsinki Harbour for the event."
