'The Red Devils' are the official parachute display team of both the Parachute Regiment (The Paras) and the British Army.
Their role is to promote both the Parachute Regiment and the British Army in support of recruitment.
This is achieved by carrying out over 100 spectacular parachute displays at public events each year and by attracting positive publicity through the media.
The team is currently manned by 13 serving soldiers from the Parachute Regiment's three full-time battalions: 1, 2 & 3 PARA.
Every member of the team has served a minimum of three years in a Parachute Regiment battalion and has taken part in at least one operational tour of duty in either: The Falkland Islands, Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan and/or Iraq.
Lance Corporal Ian Cain, who was coordinating events on the ground for this event said:
"We have jumped into Kingsholm a number of times over the past few years. It's great to be back and to receive such a fantastic welcome from the Gloucester Rugby supporters."
