As the most of the "cost" of the Reds is paid by sponsorship, chopping them would have little positive benefit in a financial sense.
Is it?

Apart from the free sunglasses, and a bit of help with fuel, I thought the rest was people and old planes - which cost money.

Perhaps BWOS could form a team instead. Another retirement opportunity for washed up harrier jocks?

Remember - if it was that good an idea, the private sector would be doing it.

No offence chaps. You will be missed, but they have a point.

Any chance of a back seat before they swing the axe?
