    My son who is a real spotter after 16 years in the RAF attended Riat this year and thought the Reds were v poor compared to the other teams. I served 39 years and many in my time thought the reds were a waste of defence resources. Excess drinking has always been rife in RAF flying sqns.

    I would think that bouts of drinking to excess have always been a problem for each service and it's no different to bonded groups in industry...esprit de corps and all that. That said I cannot think of an occasion when anyone turned up on the squadron in the morning under the influence of drink..
    .

    RAF PR has assured the public that there has never been a case of a Red Arrows pilot flying whist drunk.

    If you introduce females into an ultra masculine environment what do you expect. Two options:-

    - Stop diversity hiring - no women = no problem
    - Have your Armed Forces made up of Eunuchs.
