Having been away and thus unable to comment, I think the point of my post has been missed?
Why does the BBC have to raise this dull issue again, and such a short time after the latest tragedy?
Forget the bureaucracy that plagues the Air Force, the Reds show the RAF as it is, a group of pretty special people, doing a pretty different job, in a pretty exceptional way. It also gives an insight into life on an operational squadron. People are lost, and continue to be, Glen Kinglas, Bournemouth, Scampton etc.
Why would the media want to put the team under such pressure after such a **** year?
