Ministers confirmed last night that, despite an earlier pledge to keep the elite RAF air display team, it has been included in a wide-ranging spending review.
Sadly, it looks like the writing's finally on the wall!

Nah, means nothing IMHO. They're always included in "wide ranging spending reviews" along with many other sqns/units from all three services. The ones put forward by defence chiefs are probably carefully chosen to be either not missed too much, or too high profile to be seriously considered for the axe.
