Saw it last year I think. Quite good and not too cheesy. Do love the bit in Qubec when the Blue Angels f18 does the fast pass - not very English of the boss

Good job someone else is watching!

But I'm not sure all that text was there when I spotted the lack of a capital E in ENGLISH!

You might think that, but I couldn't possibly comment.

My 'god', it's worse than doing an essay during the Defence Writing course at RAFC Cranwell ~x(

. Standards I suppose though. :((

Did you get any reference material from the cracking library at Cranwell?

Oh bum!..........missed it

I'd like to see that programme redone with the current new intake that are in training now for the 2010 season ....to see how the young lady is fitting in, as that's such a unique thing - first woman and all that ....and to see how my friend's son's mate is doing

And here it is, in full, complete with dodgy 'O' level French commentary.

'Le Orrsumm' as they probably say over there! :))

Fantastic thanks Air!

by **Saracenman** » Fri Jan 08, 2010 10:23 pm

it's amazing innit - over here, the Reds are known to be a little pompous (and who can blame them) but 'over there' they looked very understated when compared to their colonial counterparts

sorry Danf, but your chaps and chappesses just looked daft, with their formation walking and over-the-top ground-crew 'drill'

only my humble opinion though

by **Checkflaps** » Fri Jan 08, 2010 11:07 pm

Agree SM.

Staged is one thing, but the formation ground crew is just OTT. I know that they are there to put on a show but surely that is in the air, not on the ground. Thats what the ATC marching band and the bloke doing handbrake turns into small parking bays is for. Airshow - giveaway there, its in the title. Its a SHOW in the AIR - not on the ground.

edit : reminds me, there was a clip on StupidTube with 'Red Arrows formation peeing' as a comedy sketch. Due to current comp issues, can't get the link. Sorry.
