A group of MS sufferers have set up a formation display team to rival the Red Arrows... using mobility scooters.

The Red Wheelies drive their low-speed scooters in formation in much the same way as Red Arrows pilots fly their plane - pulling off stunts as they go.

And while not as quick or daring as their aeronautical role models, the sight of the red-jacketed team scootering around a car park is surprisingly entertaining.

The team was devised by Jackie Weeden as a way to help raise awareness of (and money for) multiple sclerosis and each of the drivers suffers from MS.

While the performances are already quite something to watch we can't wait until they've worked out how to get coloured smoke flowing from the back of each scooter.
