    A Probe into the high-flying Red Arrows display team found predatory behaviour towards women was \u201cwidespread and normalised.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Examples included unwanted physical contact, sexual texts, invitations to engage in sexual activity and women being seen as \u201cproperty.\u201d The display team performs striking routines in Hawk fast-jets and, by the beginning of 2023, had performed almost 5,000 displays in 57 countries.<\/p>\n

    Chief of the air staff, Sir Richard Knighton, said he was appalled by the findings and \u201cunreservedly\u201d apologised but added that there were no plans to disband the elite team. The non-statutory inquiry into the revered team was launched in 2021 after three women went to the then-head of the RAF about complaints they had made which had not been addressed by their chain of command.<\/p>\n

    The inquiry, covering a period dating back to 2017, noted a \u201chigh propensity of extramarital relationships between serving personnel\u201d which may have contributed to a \u201clow opinion of female service personnel.\u201d Defence committee chairman and Tory MP Robert Courts said the inquiry findings showed there were \u201cserious cultural problems running deep within the unit\u201d.<\/p>\n

    Deep-rooted problems still persist and must be urgently addressed, he said, adding that the committee will be raising the issues in coming sessions. The RAF admitted part of the problem may have been a view that members of the display team were \u201cspecial\u201d.<\/p>\n
