We know he was not referring to the RAF lads.....else this forum would be out to Tar and Feather him. Yank bashing on the other hand.....well it is all banter now iddnit?

What had him with his knickers in a wad was the US Army display was much more impressive due to the whirling bayonets as compared to the RAF precision display which was extremely good but was not very exciting to watch. Nothing like the spectacle of a bit of home made Shish-kabob to perk up an audience.

I would suggest both were grand....and each worthy of admiration for a lot of hard work and teamwork by all involved.

I was suitably impressed by both....the image of WWII tin hats and bolt action rifles mixed with modern day RAF dress and weaponry.
