And of course the RAF can justify a full time squadron flying air displays, another one flying a Lancaster, Dakota, spitfires and Hurricanes and Parachute display team deploying to America to select members whilst cutting operational units parachute training?
The army could rationalise its display teams. RAF got to keep RIAT and Waddington and other Airshows, Navy got to keep its Navy days so where is the Army equivilent? Edinburgh doesn't exactly give a great shopfront for the army capibility
