BRITISH ARMY "RED DEVILS" PARACHUTE TEAM
Headquartered at Airfield Camp, Netheravon, Wiltshire, England, the Red Devils are the official parachute display team of the British Army, consisting of around 14 to 15 full-time serving paratroopers and originating from the elite Parachute Regiment.
Established in 1964 as a free-fall display team, they took their official name from the legendary WWII moniker. German troops dubbed British airborne forces Rote Teufeln (Red Devils) in 1942 due to their fierce combat reputation and the red mud/sand staining their gear in North Africa.
The Red Devils perform approximately 60 public demonstrations annually across the UK and globally, jumping from up to 12,000–13,000 feet at speeds of 120 mph.
