Red Arrows "Too British" !!!!!!
Hi all, had this in an e mail today,dont know if it's been posted before or not,but think it deserves a read.Dont know about you lot,but I think
it sucks what next,ban the union jack cos thats too British
The world-famous Red Arrows have been banned from appearing at the 2012 London Olympics because they are deemed "too British".
Organisers of the event say that the Arrows military background might be "offensive" to other countries taking part in the Games. The
display team have performed at more than 4000 events worldwide, but the Department of Culture, Media and Sport have deemed the display team "too
militaristically British". Red Arrows pilots were said to be "outraged", as they had hoped to put on a truly world class display for
the Games, something which had never been seen before. Being axed from a British-based event for being "too British" is an insult - the
Arrows are a symbol of Britain ..
The Red Arrows have been excellent ambassadors for British overseas trade, as they display their British-built Hawk aircraft all over the world.
The Arrows performed a short fly-past in 2005 when the winning bid was announced, but their fly-past at the Games was to have been truly spectacular.
It is to be hoped that common sense prevails
