To quote from above
“For nearly 50 years the RAF’s acrobatic display team have captivated audiences across the world with their daredevil performances.
But newly-appointed minister Nick Harvey said he could give no guarantee over their future as funding for the Arrows was at “no more or less risk” than any other department.
The Army is too small to fight all of the battles facing BritainThe North Devon MP, who was among the crowds of people watching a specially-arranged fly past in Barnstaple, Devon on Wednesday, refused to guarantee their future.”
Defence cuts cannot surely sacrifice the Reds – they are an iconic display team and do the RAF and the UK proud.
