PS I've always had a great deal of respect for pilots flying formation aerobatics in low-powered aircraft, doubly so since I put a couple of hours on a Vampire T11 a few years ago, which is a positive rocket-ship (another 1000 lb of thrust, but admittedly heavier) compared to a Tutor or JP 4.
I think the Red Pelicans worked up to 7 before they disbanded in favour of the short lived Yellowjacks Gnat team, who were then usurped by the Red Sparrows.
