The reds are not getting the 128. Much more difficult to service meaning they would need a larger fleet in order to guarantee displays. Having spent several years at Scampton sipping beer with the guys, I'm confident that the Reds will be disbanded once the current fleet is lifed. 2018 is the number in the air. Ties in nicely with the 100th anniversary of the RAF.
Huge shame really as the annual running cost is vey low at £5-6M
