The RAF doesn't want the "1/2 truth" being out on the public domain where camaraderie and teamwork is actually a myth put out there as spin. The reality however...................The daily Wail keeps pumping out the kind of PR the RAF and the reds don't want.
'Toxic culture' revealed after three of the Red Arrows quit
It emerged that the RAF has launched a formal investigation into allegations of what it called 'unacceptable behaviour' by several Red Arrows pilots.www.dailymail.co.uk
40 people making statements if true, is more than the Aircrew and Circus. Everyone in display season wears blue as far as groundcrew is concerned.BBC in on the story now and including a fact that almost never gets air time
"The Red Arrows team is more than the pilots. With its support team and ground crew, it is 130 strong."
Yes it's true readers apart from the nine guys in red and the bu11shit start team of nine in blue there are dozens of hard grafting folk who are never mentioned and largely ignored.

*** WARNING: PERSONAL OPINION AND MY PERCEPTION !!!!!! *** The RED ARROWS are a microcosm of the RAF. HOWEVER..... When there are lots of microcosms having problems in an organisation then it leads and points to a bigger cultural issue. The British Army has lead the way in this for years. And NO. That isn't an endorsement. IMHO the RAF was going this way with bigger cultural issues tinged with a nastiness from MOD through to Station HRs and Line Management more interested in making things more difficult to screwing-you-over despite simpler, more elegant solutions being available to sort day-to-day problems.BBC in on the story now and including a fact that almost never gets air time

Back in the day this ex-reds ground crew bod, and the rest, wore bog standard dark green denims for work and only the "elite" starter ground crew the public saw were permitted the personalised navy blue denims.
Times have changed and have done so for quite a few years.
Indeed. But the weather is rubbish over NWI so assume the reason is that.
However, local news reckoned there was even worse weather in the west of the county...
The truth will not come out. Not surprised as poor Saxonair fence line would have been packed with Hacks. I used to enjoy having the Reds taxy past my 2K parked on stand one. Alas, no longer at NWI.
