A seven-ship for 2023. Here's hoping 7 make it through winter training 'unscathed', although I do not see any sign of a Springhawk deployment which should help allay any 'toxicity'. 
Re: Oh dear - red faces as well?
Scrub that! An eight-ship.

A damning report and one which angers me. This was not the team I knew.

I encountered them several times in Cyprus during pre-season practice whilst on gunnery camps. I also saw them a fair few times on the air show circuit as I was in the habit of flying the air display spare / static F3 to air shows.
This was 88-93. They were no better or worse than any other aircrew at the time, socially-speaking. Certainly no sense of entitlement.

It works now.
Re: Oh dear - red faces as well?
bob - are you clicking on the right post? When you say 'still 404 error' does that mean you are getting it frequently or do you mean 'like PHX'?

Re: Oh dear - red faces as well?
If I may add my two penneth to this thread. The daughter of a late friend of mine was a member of the ground engineering team supporting the Red Arrows for a while. It was one of her ambitions to get on the team, but rapidly changed her mind when she achieved it. She found the culture deeply unpleasant and very anti female, she requested, and got, a transfer fairly quickly. She is not a 'weak and feeble female' but well able to hold her own (in all respects) with anyone.
This occurred probably some 8-10 years ago.She is still in the service as a senior NCO and must have completed over 20 years of service to date.
