I'm a 'save them' if they stop draining on over-tasked resources, such as the C130 that always seems to be in tow, but that could also be said of the Falcons every summer weekend too. It would also be interesting to see if the Blues are fully manned, particularly while other squadrons - not necessarily pointies - are suffering manning shortfalls. Our 'spare' should go to display teams, not the other way around.

And if we do need to reduce spending, how about a review of all the flypasts (inc. practices) and other jollies that happen way too frequently. If we stop p1ssing around so much with our allegedly stretched forces people might start asking what's happening!
