Red Devils (Parachute Regiment)

[9] Their name derives from the nickname given to members of the Parachute Regiment by German forces in the North African campaign of the Second World War; the paratroopers jumped wearing the Denison smock, whose rear flap gave the effect of a tail, and became coated in red earth on landing.

[12] In July 2022, two Red Devils team members broke the Guinness World Record for the largest flag down-planed while skydiving, measuring 450 square metres (4,800 sq ft).

[13] In 2023, five team members pioneered a new stunt, 'the Pentagram', in which their parachutes are joined at a single point.

[14][15] At Whitehaven Air Show in June 2015, a team member became entangled during a stunt collision, but his partner was able to bring him safely to the ground.
