Reds...

FV is quite right - the Reds (and the BBMF) may be cut, but only after the rest of the RAF has long been disposed of.

The painful reality is that as long as the Reds are there to make people go "oooh", the BBMF are there to bring a (well-earned) tear to the eye, and yellow SKs are there to fish the unwise out of the drink / fetch them from a rocky ledge, the truth is that the general public have little or no understanding of what the RAF is doing or what platforms it employs to do whatever it is doing.

It's been said on here before - but there aren't many votes in defence.
