When the RAF's iconic Red Arrows disbanded (briefly)

The Red Arrows are gearing up for their diamond jubilee this year, but some parts of their history remain relatively unknown despite having performed at air shows worldwide for the past 60 years.

Retired Squadron Leader Henry Prince, who was known by the callsign Red 7, was part of the founding team that Lee Jones put together.

He told Forces News: "What a lot of people don't know, even in the British Forces Broadcasting [Service] is that the team was disbanded at the end of '65. That was it."
