Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II Red Arrows
The Red Arrows are renowned throughout the world as ambassadors for both the Royal Air Force and the United Kingdom. Since the Team was officially formed in 1965, the Red Arrows have completed over 4,000 displays in 53 countries.
The Red Arrows’ reputation is built on the commitment and professionalism, combined with Royal Air Force skills, training and equipment. Many of the Red Arrows’ pilots and support staff have recently returned from Afghanistan and Iraq and many will be temporarily detached on operations overseas during their time with the Red Arrows.
We are proud to represent the values and professionalism of the Royal Air Force.

It’s great though you missed the meteor missile out of the ATAM category witch is the primary BVR missile of the RAF and Royal Navy. Also, the Red Arrows would use the F-35A rather than the F-35B as they’re RAF and the RAF are going to use the F-35A rather than the F-35B, they currently co-operate the F-35B with the Royal Navy as none of the F-35A have been delivered yet.
