Red Arrows to go?

[IanDTurner]

A populer UK Sunday paper is claiming the MOD is looking at axeing the Red
Arrows in the sweeping round of planned defence cuts. The MOD denies any such
plan.

But, what do you think? Personally I'd rather have a front line Sqn on the
books than a bunch of prima-donnas, despite the publicity side .............

I think killing off the Reds would be a Very Bad Thing, and the BBC
reports that they dismiss the claims:
