World famous Red Devils Army Parachute Display Team to drop into Hemlock Happening 2025!
The Red Devils acquired their name in 1942 following the deployment of the Parachute Regiment into North Africa during the Second World War. The red African sand clung to the parachutes after landing, creating the illusion of a red tail, which caused German troops to dub British paratroopers ‘The Red Devils’.
Beginning as a display team in 1964 to boost army engagement and recruitment, the team now perform over 350 tandem skydives and 60 parachute displays every year! All members are still active personnel in the Parachute Regiment, and could be called into action at any time, personifying their motto, ‘Ready For Anything’.
But that’s not all, we have a whole host of entertainment to keep you smiling throughout the day. Here’s what more you can expect:
