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
They get the front of Buckingham Palace, Horse Guards and Windsor Castle. These locations get more footfall than any organised PR events put together.

They also have a number of displays/stalls at RIAT/Families days etc. The Army doesnt do badly mate.
