[QUOTE=Finningley Boy;9098223]I don't undestand the logic of what you appear to be alluding to? I sense you're suggesting that in light of recent crashes at airshows, not least at Shoreham, that the relevent authorities will deem the Red Arrows, indeed all fast jet aerobatics displays, to be too dangerous, therefore, they will no longer be allowed. But why do you think it will take until after 2018 to arrive at that decision? Surely, if the day that this happens is now in sight as you seem to suggest, then such displays are far more likely to face such restrictions/bans before the 2016 airshow season is upon us, while the emotional and political ramifications are very much alive. Or do you imagine that the form will be to wait until after the RAF's 100th birthday before we stamp on everything, we'll risk all until then!

Assuming the Royal Air Force makes it to April 2018!
