Tedious

These RAFAT threads can be tedious, founded on rumour and hear say.
Can we stick to the facts?
ALL Reds pilots go through a STRICT regime to ensure suitability, regardless of gender, race, sexuality etc. There will be inevitably some “firsts”, as with Kirsty.
The team manager (Red 10) is chosen for his managerial qualities and lots of other abilities, not on his formation piloting skills.
The team moving to a seven ship seems to make sense based on the criteria and time it takes to choose and train the pilots…who normally complete a 3 year tour. This isn’t the end of the Red Arrows before the naysayers jump on the bandwagon.

I’m tired, goodnight.
