For those who were questioning the benefit of the Reds doing the private event today, they helped raise £73k for charity - a decent proportion of this was purely from items they themselves auctioned. All their costs were covered by the event organiser (Beardy!) and their personal appearance was greatly received (bigbluecar!) Perhaps not the traditional PR the RAF benefits from but a benefit none the less, in my opinion.
