Um, not strictly motoring, but given the apparent demographics of the site, i think that people here will be interested in this one

Apparently, some humbugs wants to abolish the Red Arrows to save a bit of cash. My own thoughts are that the Red Arrows provide positive PR for the RAF and GB and are an asset. The RAF's bling if you will. And everyone needs a bit of bling in their life.

Motoring - Hawk was a Humber car and i used to drive past Kemble a lot!

I can't see how they provide positive PR. Are the planes they use not ancient? If they were to compete with the world's best they would need to make a big investment, surely?
