I just watched an excellent documentary on the National Geographic channel called Danger Men on the 2008 Red Arrows team. A nice surprise to see Andy "Boomer" Keith and Simon "Kermit" Rea on it. Both were Skyhawk pilots on 2/75 Sqns in the late 90s. Great to see how well they have done in the RAF.

Bugger missed it. Will it be replayed? My flatmate unfortunately has her Monday night of Dirty Housewives and Brothers and Sisters or whatever they are called. Utter rubbish.

I'm sure it will, most docos on Sky get repeated in the days and weeks following. Check the TV guide (I don't get it sorry) for Danger Men.
Given the tough economic times it must be hard to justify keeping such a dedicated display team together full time. The cost can't be insignificant. 12 aircraft, pilots, maintainers and support staff. Training in Cyprus over the winter must be a tough posting!!! Looks like the groundies get lots of back seat time flying to shows all over the world - nice!
