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).
Actually, you have a point. Why not make them appeal to whom the RAF seem to be targeting right now.
So, ladies and gentlemen, I give you, the Typhoon equipped...Pink Arrows
