72modeler Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 According to the 1/72 Aerodecal sheet 06A Red Arrows/Yellowjacks that I have, the serials are listed below. I can't swear as to the accuracy of the serials on the sheet, but maybe somebody can confirm or correct- sorry, best I can do! Mike XR986 XR540 XR991 XR993 XR992 XR987 XR994 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jure Miljevic Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Hello Mike is correct, all the serials he provided are listed in David Watkins' book The history of RAF aerobatic teams from 1920 - smoke on . . . go! (Pen & sword) or can be seen on photos, published in Peter R. March's book The Red Arrows story (Sutton). Nine Gnats flew in Yellowjack display team and, according to Watkins' book, one of the two missing serials is XR996. Unfortunately, I found nothing on the last one.

Radfan Hunters Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Can confirm that the full list was: XR540/986/7/991-996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampiredave Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Ray is quite correct with the team's aircraft serials as the list was 'corrupted' by the printers. BTW: XM698 was not a team aircraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
