In recent years I haven't been able to see past the fact that some of the Blades members held leadership and supervisory positions in the Reds as that team delivered us two avoidable deaths, an avoidable midair collision, an affair between two married team members, and (as we now know) a sordid social culture that carried on in the years that followed, despite the heavy scrutiny to which the team was supposedly subjected at the time, and which has now brought the team to its knees. I would sooner they had disappeared gracefully from the air display scene. Accordingly I can't say I feel a great deal of sadness at news of their "redeployment" within 2Excel. Sorry.
