Yeovilton Air Day

Thank you, Tiger Mate, for your measured and informative reply.

Times do change, sometimes not for the better.
Unfortunately, the future of our Armed Forces is no longer a priority. Civilians, without a clue about defence, have taken over.......even Air Displays.
As an American politician recently said, the UK is no longer a big player in world events. Even France and Germany are considered more reliable in their support.
Fortunately, I probably won't be here to see the outcome. Having been brought up during WW2, I am just concerned for my kids' future. Then we could defend ourselves....just.

Sorry about the thread creep.
