I might have expected some patronising reply but 2 Harriers were present at the show and it couldn't have taken too much effort to fly one on at least one day. After serving HM for 43 years I do understand what it takes to prep an aircraft and aircrew for a display, I've been involved in more than I care to remember. Last years Luqa show even included the Red Arrows amongst a very large and very popular RAF presence and the operational and financial climate hasn't changed that dramatically since.If we're that short of airframes what were two doing at Luqa anyway!
