Red Arrows display at Greenock
Watching the usual superb display from the Arrows yesterday at Greenock (not directly over the Tall Ships berths). After the first pass their number dropped to eight. I wondered what the tech. problem might be for one of the team to r.t.b? Just being curious, otherwise the show was very enjoyable.
Probably PVR'd

And then there were eight.
Strathclyde Police are reported to have taken two Port Glasgow men into custody on suspicion of reset. The men, John McPhee (35) and his son, Gerald McPhee (21) who are members of the travelling community, (Pikeys) are alleged to have told officers that they bought the Bae Hawk aircraft from a bloke in a pub.
This bloke has assured them it was his company vehicle that he had been allowed to keep in lieu of paymant when his employer (Big Liz's Flying Circus) went bust recently.
The MOD were unable to comment as their spokesman feared for his job.

To get back to the original question, with some reluctance, it could have been any one, or combination of things, which led the pilot to judge that it would be unwise to continue his contribution to the display

Meanwhile, their show at Silverstone last Sunday was, frankly, pointless. With the datum behind Becketts, the majority of race goers saw very little. I understand they can't display 'over' the circuit, but a better option would have been a series of fly by bends around the circuit - easily done.
All the difficult stuff was just too far away for anyone to appreciate.
