The "Red Devils" is the official name for their display team now, but
the
term originally was the nickname for the WWII-era British paras in
general,
not just display guys.	The Parachute Regiment are the Red Devils...

(They originated the custom of parachute units wearing red (maroon in
some
places) berets, since copied in many other countries... and they fought
very well against pretty much everyone they went up against, hence "red"
and "devils")
