Red Arrows - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, is the aerobatics display team of the Royal Air Force, based at RAF Scampton, United Kingdom. The Red Arrows are not the first RAF aerobatics team; in fact the first RAF biplane pageant was held at Hendon in 1920. Initially, the Red Arrows were equipped with seven Folland Gnat trainers which were inherited from another RAF display team, The Yellowjacks, and had been chosen because they were less expensive to operate than the front-line fighters. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Red_Arrows   (2402 words)

Elf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Deedlit, the female elf from the Dungeons and Dragons inspired anime series Record of the Lodoss War, is an example of a modern fantasy elf.

Brewer, E. Cobham. Dictionary of Phrase & Fable. Elf (plural, Elves, Anglo-Saxon, œlf). They impersonate the shimmering of the air, the felt but indefinable melody of Nature, and all the little prettinesses which a lover of the country sees, or thinks he sees, in hill and dale, copse and meadow, grass and tree, river and moonlight. In Iceland, a person gaily dressed is called a red elf (raud âlfr), in allusion to a superstition that dwarfs wear scarlet or red clothes. Properly, a mountain fay, but more loosely applied to those airy creatures that dance on the grass or sit in the leaves of trees and delight in the full moon. www.bonus.com /contour/bartlettqu/http@@/www.bartleby.com/81/5724.html   (1725 words)

Red Arrows - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Black Arrows' greatest moment was the loop and barrel roll of 22 Hunters during the 1958 Farnborough Air Show. The Arrows were not disbanded and the expense has been justified through the public relations value of the arrows, because the Red Arrows help develop business in the defence industry and they also because act as a recruitment mechanism for the RAF.

Ballistic properties in ancient Egyptian arrows Light arrows may in general have a flattish acceleration curve when shot from massive bows, even when the bows are fairly heavily 'stacked' so that there is very little elastic force in the arms during the later part of the shot (as would seem to have been the case with the doubly convex Egyptian longbow). As we should expect, the peak force on the lighter arrow is lower, but the acceleration appears more uniform; in fact, while the difference between the peak loads on the two arrows is closely proportional to the difference in their mass, the average load differs much less. This makes the arrow in our example fairly safe, but since the acceleration is certain not to be uniform we need to consider the peak load, and the shape of the acceleration curve, which will vary in bows of different design. www.student.utwente.nl /~sagi/artikel/egyptian/egyptian.html   (1249 words)

SCC Forums -> fire arrows v normal arrows Fire arrows are meant to damage enemy morale more, but normal arrows have a higher rate of fire and are more accurate. If the enemy has a long approach to get to you, fire arrows are often the best option, because the enemy troops will be shaken or wavering before they start their charge to melee. If you are playing a fear faction, like barbs, fire arrows combined with a druids, infantry warcry, and a dogs unit can do most of the fighting for you. www.stratcommandcenter.com /forums/index.php?showtopic=2499   (756 words)

Folklore of Flintknapping Another theory on the origin of elf arrows is that "the elves recieved them from old fairies, who wore them as breast-pins, and that these old fairies had in return recieved them from mermaids" (Spence 1948: 173). During an eclipse, the Ojibwas would shoot burning arrows at the sun to rekindle it, while theCayapo, Bororo, and Tapuyos of Brazil would shoot arrows at the sun to frighten it into shining again, and the Sencis of Brazil shot fire arrows to drive away the beast that was trying to overcome the sun (75). Quivers were made with the sloughed skin of the adder, and the arrows they held had for shafts the stems of the bog-reed, and were pointed with white field flint and dipped inthe dew of hemlock" (Spence 1948: 172). www.geocities.com /knappersanonymous/folklore.html   (756 words)

BBC NEWS Magazine Why everyone loves the Red Arrows Ironically, the Red Arrows were themselves born of an austerity drive, in the post-war defence cuts of the 1960s. Robert Pollard, UK To say that the Red Arrows were themselves born of an austerity drive, in the post-war defence cuts of the 1960s and before that, almost every squadron of the RAF had its own aerobatics team, is not true - RAF squadrons hadn't had their own aerobatic teams since the 1930s. I went to primary school in the village next to RAF Leeming where the Red Arrows were based for a number of years in the 80s, and had the joy of watching them practise in our lunch breaks. news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/magazine/3908187.stm   (1909 words)
