Brilliant- I love the anti-Reds threads....Here we go again!
As much as I don't agree with the continued existence of the Red Arrows, Bollard is indeed a very very good lad, as are many of the others on the team. I can count a couple of tosseurs, both already on the team and in the selection process, but that's just my opinion!
Interesting to hear that the Reds were all "Battle hardened Pilots...."
Maybe a statement saying "All the Red Arrows have flown fast jet aircraft in the RAF, some of whom have been on operations and some have only ever been deployed on exercise." would be more accurate!
Well really!
