British Paras - Red Devils Display Team
Loading...
Uploaded by ForeverTottenham on Jul 20, 2007
The Red Devils are the British Parachute Regiment's display team. As with the rest of the regiment, they wear a distinctive maroon beret. All volunteers, the Red Devils are regular serving paratroopers drawn from the three Battalions of the Parachute Regiment.
The team was formed on 1st January 1964 by Major-General Glyn Gilbert, who was then Regimental Colonel of The Parachute Regiment, and in 1979 was officially declared the British Army's parachute display team. The team actually comprises 2 display teams of 10 men, each with a cameraman who records each performance.
The distinctive maroon beret of the Parachute Regiment was first worn by the men of the Regiment when it went into action in North Africa in November 1942. The officers and men of the 1st Parachute Brigade, wearing this beret, were nicknamed the "Red Devils" by their German adversaries, in admiration of their fighting qualities. The Germans had good reason to dread its appearance on the field of battle. The present day "Red Devil" is a highly skilled, professional career soldier.

The officers and men of the 1st Parachute Brigade, wearing this beret, were nicknamed the "Red Devils" by their German adversaries because of the fact that they were covered in red dust from the area in which they had been fighting (not for the fact they wore the Maroon Beret).So,the Red Devils were named before the Nov.1942 Norway water plant mission. Go for that Maroon Beret!!!

I've been fortunate enough to skydive with these guys from 13,000ft. They're a bunch of down to earth guys, extremely professional with a cracking sense of humour. If you get the opportunity to dive with them, take it.
