I hope its biodiesel grown in fields that would be better used for food. Doubt if Greta will be satisfied!
The older jets did black smoke without additives! US Phantoms were really smoky. B52 still does!
 
Maybe they should concentrate on keeping those poor old jets serviceable.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls. The Royal Air Force aerobatic team, The Red Arrows! Well four of them."

Seems they've realised that just warming up and not burning fuel is bad for the environment. Cars parked at Scampton are always covered in an oily film. Wonder where that comes from?

How many other air forces are going to stop using diesel in the sky to make pretty pictures?
 
Wasn’t very kind to your washing at Akrotiri either. Can’t they just photoshop it in later these days.
 
Seems irrelevant when China has 1082 of these (coal powered power stations) bad boys belching out the good stuff 24/7, with plans to build more besides on the table.

Going to remain with the Reds until 2030 allegedly - https://www.raf.mod.uk/aircraft/hawk-t1/

Any 'heavier than air' flying contraptions excite the local populous of Lincoln.
Noises, shapes, patterns and colour all feature on the adult academic timetables.
 
Not just different coloured smokes.....How about different flavoured smoke?.....Add a few litre cans of concentrated various vape flavours to the Red's diesel smoke tanks?......"Ladies and Gentleman we have the Diamond nine formation with white smoke and the essence of Watermelon Wave"......"Now it's our Concorde formation with red smoke and a stupendous scent of Peach Green Tea"......"Enjoy as now and just for the kids we have Wineglass formation with green smoke and the delightful aroma of Gummi Bear".......
