According to the RAF website the Red Arrows “…is the public face of the service. They assist in recruiting to the Armed Forces, act as ambassadors for the United Kingdom at home and overseas and promote the best of British.”

In contrast - Predatory sexual behaviour, a toxic ego culture and misplaced elitism in the modern world. That is what the Reds now signifies to me whatever is done to try and rehabilitate them in the public eye. They are pretty when they zoom past Buckingham Palace but so is a Typhoon or Spitfire. And that’s before we even get into the cost, the decline of airshows, and the modern day relevance of an ancient jet showcasing 21st Century Industry and Air Force. They have had their day. Time for them to go.

I’d personally build a future model around a single organisation centred on BBMF linking heritage to future. Add a few heritage jets. The current types can still be managed within their respective structures.
