I didn't move anything... :P

What is the spacing alignment in those pics? A 2 foot overlap, wingtips aligned with outboard edge of ailerons?

Do you guys know the actual sight picture (from inside) for the Red Arrows? I remember seeing a documentary on the Military Channel (former Discovery Wings) about the team and one member explained how they line up the second actuator pylon under the wing with something or another (a rivet pattern)... I really don't know, but maybe you do? It would be interesting to find out!

Ah ha, thanks to whoever moved the post lol

I'm not sure on the actual Reds spacing LD, but I'll look into it, I have enough DVD's of in-flight formations to keep me going for a while, so I'll enjoy watching them again to get the info.
