I dont think a 3* spouting would have been better than talking to the JO's....... I just think that describing the RAF as bit of a club to the british public that fund us wasnt the best idea. The tax payers need to know that they are getting "value for money." This years RAF air display isn't all just fast low noisy stuff but a demonstration of their relevant role.... An E3 in a racetrack with 2 F3's doing a CAP, followed by GR4's attacking the groung and then the F3's chasing down 2 hawks.... letting the people know what we do and how we do it. It is the impression of many of the public that we do just p*ss around punching holes in the sky stunt flying.
