The Manchots (Penguins) display team, which flew with two Stampe SV-4b biplanes, was formed in 1965 using two instructors from the Elementary Flying Training School of the Belgian Air Force.
Their first display was at the international air meeting in Brustem in 1965. In 1967, the team formally received its name "Manchots" (from French - Penguins).
The Manchots aerobatic team existed until 1970, also displaying around Europe in Germany, United Kingdom, France, Italy and the Netherlands.
