Julia Bradbury (not bad but Suzy Perry would always get my vote) mentioned on a couple of occasions that the Red Arrows sole function was recruitment and PR for the RAF. I remember many years ago as a very lucky Space Cadet on work experience with RAFAT and CFS at Scampton being told that their main function was to market UK PLC (and help BAE flog the odd Hawk or ten). Recruiting and PR was secondary. Has that changed?

By the way, if anyone with a red flying suit wants to swap their day job for my 777, they're welcome.
