Three Central Flying School Jet Provost T.1s in the special red/white display colour scheme. Only ten Mk.1s were built, XD674-80, XD692-3 & G-AOBU. The right hand aircraft in this shot may be XD679. The CFS put up a 4-aircraft display team in these colours at the SBAC Farnborough Air Show in September 1958 as "The CFS Jet Aerobatic Team" and a pair (XD678 & 9) at the SBAC Farnborough Air Show in September 1959 as "The Redskins". XD679 was scrapped at Shawbury in May 1960. Location is not confirmed but most probably the CFS home base of Little Rissington. Photographer not known.
