The petition seems to be defunct as there is a statement on there saying that they've not been banned from appearing. Although I can imagine the committee that decide on these things might not want them there.
I think they would be a great spectacle as they are one of the few things left that we are best at!

The Red Arrows are an awesome sight, I've seen them twice - once at an air show at Blackpool when I was about 6 yrs old before the started using the Hawk planes and once at the military tattoo at Towneley. We watched them from the ridge as you couldn't get near Towneley for all the traffic. It was a good move though, as their display took them right above our heads for the low passes!

I'll never forget it, wish we still had those events on they were so popular! - anyone remember the Vulcan bomber fly-past and the Red Devil's parachute display?
