Didn’t the YellowJacks continue for some time afterwards, as a pair of aircraft ?
Or maybe I am confusing them with another team ?

Only one other comment. Personally I would prefer it if they went back to just white smoke.
RWB looks good at a distance, but at low altitude just creates a “muddy mess”.

Yes very good clips of the early days. I watched them perform as the Yellowjacks in 1964 at RNAS Culdrose which I think may have been their first public display. Russ Conway was the commentator on the day! Thanks for the memory.
