Those Red Arrow boys really can fly
- I saw their fabulous flying couple of year ago
and I have RA -poster here in my work shop.
It is art and makes people happy.
(I do have to add here: in fact my test pilot
Lt. Col. Jyrki Laukkanen has teached them)
I sign at once.

Subject: Europa-List: FW: Red Arrows "Too British"!!!!
Hi Guys
I think I may have got this wrong when I tried to send it a few mins.
Ago, so here goes a second time. If, like me you feel this is one step
too far . (I can hear Bob Harrison applauding from here). Then you may
wish to sign up. It=92s a really quick and simple process.
What do you think? I=92m sure our US friends must be laughing there
heads off at this one!
Kind Regards
Alan

The world-famous Red Arrows have been banned from appearing at the
2012 London Olympics because they are deemed "too British".
Organisers of the event say that the Arrows military background might
be "offensive" to other countries taking part in the Games. The display
team have performed at more than 4000 events worldwide, but the
Department of Culture, Media and Sport have deemed the display team "too
militaristically British". Red Arrows pilots were said to be "outraged",
as they had hoped to put on a truly world class display for the Games,
something which had never been seen before. Being axed from a
British-based event for being "too British" is an insult - the Arrows
are a symbol of Britain.
The Red Arrows have been excellent ambassadors for British overseas
trade, as they display their British-built Hawk aircraft all over the
world.
The Arrows performed a short flypast in 2005 when the winning bid was
announced, but their flypast at the Games was to have been truly
spectacular.
It is to be hoped that common sense prevails.
