As I cannot see any economic 'boom' in the forseeable and slowly but surely human longevity v pensions and the NHS is coming home to roost, I reckon the Reds are already on borrowed time and will probably survive until the Centenary in 2018. After which they will either require investing in by way of new aircraft or monetary input to keep the tired T1 flying or they will be axed. Whats that MP doing with a sharpening stone??

I am no fan of this as a suggestion, but the old cliche of British Industry etc etc does not wash anymore. Take the rose tinted ones off people and get your photographs whilst you still can.
