The Royal Signals "White Helmets" display team has become legendary for their stunts. Recently it has been selecting new recruits.

The team has proved a popular recruiting tool for the Army and a chance for signallers to do something very different for a couple of years.

The unit was originally formed from dispatch riders, who ferried vital messages around on battlefields - first on horseback and then on two wheels.

Forces News reporter Julie Knox went to meet the team and got put through her paces.
