Obviously basic math and attention to the question being asked was off the curriculum at Biggin/Cranwell the day you did selection.
So 10 frames minus "Manger plus spare" equals 8
If it were to be a 9 ship display/flypast then 9 plus "Manger plus spare" equals 11
As we all know this has been a tragic and unfortunate year for RAFAT, and it was well published that the team would only be flying 7 ship displays this year, so with the manager IN the spare as normal one would've expected to see 8 frames in transit, hence my question, but as CM rightly pointed out and as I later researched, all flypasts are being done as a 9 and the manager will be IN the spare making 10.
Having said all that I'd like to wish the Team a rewarding, albeit sad, season and hope to see them back to full strength next year.
