i have long thought red arrows should be disbanded..but not for monetary reasons! the displays and pre display flying has become increasingly arrogant with no thought for folk on ground..not the ppl watching..but those below flight path. i have witnessed folk in ferndown...gosport and other towns terrified..especially kids...and dogs..cattle and other animals panic as they scream overhead...almost touching rooftops. day before this year's crash...i predicted it would happen at bournemouth...how i wish i'd been wrong...it is pure jingoism in these bad times...the massive sum spent to keep arrows airborne is much needed elsewhere. one psychologist has commented this new generation of pilots has been raised on ps3 and xbox etc culture...and fact no accidents can happen on a console can be sub consciously ...food for thought? ppl in crete where pre season flying is done are also not too happy.. GOD BLESS the pilot and family..but perhaps this is a message to be heeded?
