Red Arrows to open Olympics

[chopper2004]

Maybe the Aldershot and Colchester residents should close the games?

[Evanelpus]

So if the Reds are to open the show, which unit of the Armed Forces should close it?

The Procurement department at the MOD, they've ended just about everything recently!

[airpolice]

Surely the RN have most experience at bringing up the rear, as they say.

[glojo]

But never the mens rea

[Motleycallsign]

Maybe 'The Chelsea Pensioners' should as we probably won't see the likes of the games again.

[breakscrew]

Please God, don't be as boring as last season.

I see from the military photo sites that the Reds are now back from Cyprus. There is no mention on any of the RAF web sites of them getting their PDA. Anyone got any gen? Is there a problem?

[TEEEJ]

Genstabler,

An enthusiast reported on 11 May that he had seen an announcement on Facebook. PDA apparently granted.

[brakedwell]

I just hope they don't get shot down by missiles installed on the roof of Tower Hamlets

[Genstabler]

Thank you Teeej. I wonder why they haven't got it up on their team news site. For an organisation whose main purpose is to generate publicity for the RAF they seem to be adopting a very low profile.

[Inshala]

Unfortunately the RAF (HW) now scrutinise every Reds PR update. You see where I am going with this...

[Genstabler]

Micro-management. The sign of risk aversion and weak leadership. Been there and got the T-shirt.
