The name “Gypo”, used to refer to Reds 6, 7, 8 and 9 when flying as a separate entity, is based on the nickname of a pilot who flew as Red 6 with the Team in the late 60s.  We would like to make it quite clear that there are no racist connotations and the pilot concerned was quite happy to be referred as Gypo.
