With the massive shrinkage that the RAF has undergone over the last 10 years, why do we need the Reds to advertise for people to join up.
If little Johnny wants to fly fast jets/Helos/AT then he will want to do that even without seing the Reds.
As an aside, apart from advertising BAE Systems aircraft, and providing BAE Syatems jobs to build Hawks for little countries airforces, what do the Reds do for the RAF. If they are mainly to advertise for BAES, then BAES should fund them 100%, otherwise, the £5.6m should be better spent elsewhere, and in direct support of the front line personnel.
Close Scampton as well, save money, just let the place go to ruin. (oh I forgot, it already has).
