I remain optimistic.
It’s like any accident or tragedy that befalls a team in any sport – the sooner the team gets back to doing what they have excelled in the better.
I can only give a simplistic but real example from my own life.
I am a keen oarsman when near decent river water.
I usually practice every day. On one such day I lifted the sculling boat out of the club house, put it safely in the water, and got in as per recommended procedure. I pushed away from the landing stage and within a minute I was in the water and a big Canadian arm was reaching from the landing stage to give me a hand out.
What had gone wrong “Some twerp had been messing about with the riggers and forgotten to put a sign up saying that the scull was not safe to use”.
I went into the club house had a shower got into fresh kit and the club captain came in and said to me, “I hope that’s you are going straight out again, we’ll have the ‘shorts’ waiting when you get back”.
I did and that’s the same for the Reds (if there is a crisis the sooner one gets back to normal the better if such is possible and permissible) – if the Hawk T1 is fit to fly, and as the team did not make a collective mistake that led to Flt Lt Jon Egging’s sad death then for Jon’s sake they as the Reds need to be back up there doing what they are good at – precision flying, great teamwork and trust.
