New Boss and no new Aircraft

What a change. Female Wg Cmdr no doubt driven by recent shenanigans by male team members ( Red and Blue) and no new British jet replacement in sight for the Hawk.
Will any British government accept a non British aircraft for the Reds? A turbo prop straight wing?
A 4 aircraft team? Perhaps all female and/or from non white backgrounds to emphasise RAF commitment to DEI?
Or perhaps no national military aerobatic team just role demos by one fighter jet, one transport aircraft and a helicopter flown by regular front line aircrew?
