BIG BATTLE / BIG NINE
The largest and widest
formation flown by the Red Arrows, Big Battle (previously known as
Battle, or historically as Big Nine) us usually seen in displays as the
opening formation. Changing formation from any of
the other team's shapes into Big Battle is a lengthy process, with Reds
6-9 having to move outwards and backwards to achieve the correct
shape.
As a result, Big Battle is usually only used right at the start of the
display, and has been followed by changes into Nine Arrow and then Swan
(2001), or Diamond (2006). Although I didn't personally get
to see it, I understand that Big Battle was used halfway through the
2005 full display, where the team used it to change into Short Diamond
during a loop.
