TalkingRadalt: Why has some chump at MOD insisted on turning them in to a relentless recruiting drive/public information film?
Perhaps because that's one of the main reasons airshows exist and are supported at all!
As always, this will not be to everyone's taste, but I think it is the way forward in these operationally-focussed times (of arguable overstretch). I've seen 'role demos' of other nations air forces and think they were every bit as entertaining as anything I've seen at home, whilst being much more representative and relevant to the frontline. Don't get me wrong though, I still there's a place for the traditional stuff (particularly the Reds) but variety is the spice and all that. (Particularly as all but one of our current frontline jets are not exactly cutting edge, performance wise)
Looking forward to seeing how it works out
