It's been said so many times.........get rid of the Red Arrows and save circa £6m. So what?
Does anyone on this forum seriously think that the money will even go back into the RAF budget? Does anyone even seriously think it will stay in the defence budget? Of course it won't. It will go to pay for a bumnch of illegal imigrants or asylum seekers. Get real boys!

Ref your comment about Scampton........do you have any idea what other units are located at Scampton? 1ACC, CRC, MMU and poss TCW, TATCU. Where would you put them if you got rid of Scampton?
Look at Brize.....maxed out beyond belief, Waddo.......full to burst. The fact is, there is no where else for units to go. Once a Station goes, its lost forever. We aren't building any more bases, FACT.
So, leave the Arrows alone, as has been said, they bring into this country far, far more than they cost. the same goes for Scampton, leave it alone.
