The display looked really good, well done the Reds!

Pax were banned when the Reds had Gnats, after a pal of mine and his pax was killed some years ago, during a Reds practice (1977 I think). BOI thought the pax's knee possibly knocked the flap lever, causing them to retract; unfortunately the flap settings were critical in some manoeuvres.

RIP Steve Noble.
