"....Biggus, are you suggesting that we don't need to save anything until April?...."
Er no - I think you'll find, if you actually read my post, that I was pointing out that we are saving money before Apr, as I quoted in several examples!!!
As to how it looks, to who, maybe the locals in the Wittering and Cottesmore area regret the passing of the Harrier era, and will appreciate seeing it in the air once last time? If you are going to get so upset by a 16 ship flypast on the demise of an aircraft type and closure of an airbase that contributes to the local economy then I suggest you start re-ignite the "..scrap the Red Arrows, BBMF, stop all airshows, close the UASs, pull out of Afghanistan, merge the RAF, scrap all cadet forces, reduce the number of senior officers type threads.....".
Who knows, I would even agree with you in some of those cases...
