The Black Arrows, forerunners of the Red Arrows, were an aerobatic demonstration team formed in 1917. One of the most memorable feats accomplished by the Black Arrows was the execution of a 22-plane formation loop in 1958, a photo of which can be seen on the externally-linked web page.
From 1960 the Black Arrows flew Hawker Hunters and were based at RAF Wattisham in Norfolk.
