I know what you’re saying about how the Reds will be very disruptive and I sympathise with any collocated operators.
I think you do the team a disservice though by saying they demand a sanitised airfield. It is the nature of their flying task that demands it.
I know everyone likes to believe that they are all a bunch of jumped up prima donnas. Whilst that may once have been true (I don’t know, I wasn’t there) it cannot be said to be the case nowadays.
For them to do a 9 ship take off, display and recovery it is safety that demands a sanitised airfield, not ego.
As for the Waddington debate I guess there isn’t one. The plan is to move them to there and no amount of gnashing of teeth on here will change that.
We all know it may be beset with problems and the decision may yet get reversed or they may end up moving again in the near future but it won’t be because of anything we say!
