g-okay
Regrettably, it is just your kind of reaction which tends to substantiate what those of us who have been in display flying, including various kinds of formation flying, for many years, get when we offer - for those interested - the best possible advice.
Reading an RAF manual does not make you capable of good well judged safe formation flying on ONE sortie. It has to be practiced again and again - and then again and again. A manual cannot tell you what to do while you are in the air. You need someone with proven expertise to do that.
You should remember, and soon. That on PPRuNe you have some of the finest talent available to give you advice of the kind that is not available elsewhere. You were given that and took offence as if you learned it all in one go. THAT - is - impossible! If you choose to ignore such advice that is your perogative. If that is the case then I suggest that you do not bother to make such a post again.
