From: I have no idea but the view's great.
guess alot of yous who wanted their autographs got a little bit more than you bargained for!
Sorry, perhaps I didn't explain myself, I've only ever met them in the aircrew enclosure or at the airshow parties both when I was in the Royal Air Force and afterwards. I'm not an autograph hunter, nor am I envious; I'd never be able to do what they do, never expected to so I'm not envious of them in the same way as I'm not envious of Johnny Wilkinson, I played a bit of rugby but never expected to get chosen to play for England as I've flown a bit but never expected to be in the Red Arrows.

Sorry if you don't like the fact that the ones that I've bumped into while they've been on the team seemed like to$$ers but it's just my impression.

I've met some incredibly talented and dedicated pilots who were also nice blokes so I don't think that it's an excuse, personally.

I think that their flying is quite impressive, that was never in question.
