Love the pictures.
Hate the Red Arrows.
Favourite Sparrow story:
Red 1 - "##### Radio this is THE RED ARROWS five miles north of the field for a flyby."
Radio - (Excitedly) "Red Arrows, ##### Radio, circuit clear, no known traffic to affect."
Several minutes pass.
Radio - "Red Arrows, ##### Radio, what is your ETA at the field?"
Red 1 - "Formation run and break at your field five minutes ago."
Radio - "Don't know where you were but it wasn't here."
Red 1 - SILENCE
Yes, the hatred is mainly an envy thing, but not all for the reasons you're thinking. I'm sure I'd be an arrogant ar$ehole if I were in the Red Arrows.
