Red Arrows - current serial numbers

Post by NickB » Thu Aug 15, 2024 2:09 pm

Saw the Reds (10 jets) transiting to Odiham this morning - does anyone know the current serials please?
ADSB is showing XX177, 219 & 235, but I have no idea if this is correct or what the other 7 jets are!

Thanks

My latest list, although not updated for a while -

XX219/295/319/323/177/311/322/245/310/202/278/239/242/325/321/232

232 is broken at Valley.
235 is a miss code.

Below info taken from Blueriggers Valley post.

XX219 - On Maintenance
XX323 - On Maintenance
XX323 should be the next delivery back to the Reds, not sure if it's come back yet.

The original dedicated jets for the season are as follows -

1st name is pilot, 2nd is Circus member.

Xx239 bond, Deschoolmeester
Xx242 McCan, Vince
Xx245 Wales, Old
Xx 322 Suckling, Smith
Xx310 Hobday, Wilson
Xx295 Roberts, Ware
Xx311 Hansford, Walker
Xx325 Walker, Collins
Xx321 Kershaw, Kay
Xx278 Muscat, dye

Sorry can't give you the list for todays flight but hope this helps in some way.

Mike

I was recently interested in compiling a list of current Red Arrows Hawks and used this thread as a starting point. The current fleet of 15 Hawk T1's in use with the Reds as of June 2025 is as follows:

XX202 Red 1
XX295 Red 2
XX319 Red 3
XX278 Red 4
XX177 Red 5
XX221 Red 6
XX281 Red 7
XX219 Red 8
XX322 Red 9
XX239 Red 10
XX232 Red 11
XX242
XX310
XX321
XX323

XX245, XX311 and XX325 flew last year in 60th display season markings but were retired from the fleet before display season 2025. They have been replaced by XX221 and XX281, and will shortly be joined by XX261 from the reserve fleet.
