Pieces and packaging
If the first tragedy was the crash, the
second was the new rules almost immediately brought-in which as good as
prevented any kind of inland air-display where urban areas are within the
flight path; something we've seen here, with Farnborough severely curtailed,
and the Red Arrows reduced to a single-pass, slow-speed fly-by, in formation
behind a transport-giant last year.
Put together
Obviously that lack of public presence will
have had a knock-on effect on the sales from the gift stalls' set-up at the
shows, in turn affecting the revenue-stream to the RAF Benevolent Fund and/or
the RAF Association, the third tragedy.
The Army Benevolent Fund having suffered a similar
reduction in stature and public-familiarity as first the big Army Show in
Rushmore and then the Earl's Court's Tattoo (and similar regional events) were
scaled back and eventually scrapped by Tory cuts through the 1980's and 1990's.
Detail shots and 'Flying Wing'
(it didn't fly - it's a diver!)
The upshot on one level is a ton of stuff
to be cleared via-donation to charity, the other is more need is ex-servicemen,
and less ability by the established srvice charities to meet that need, leading
to all sorts of private charities springing up in their stead; Help for Heroes,
Helping Heroes, etc . . .
Of which some are perfectly legitimate and
worthy, but others are run by Right-wing or far-Right organisations whose main
aim is not raising money, but raising their own profiles and publicising their
own agenda. While the landscape of many charities with similar names or aims,
gives succour to out-and-out fraudsters, collecting for themselves - The fourth
tragedy!
Wing the other-way up . . . correct?
This (above list of tragedies) is not to be
wondered at, it's the ultimate goal of everything the Tory grandees (also
behind Brwreakshit) have been working toward for the last 40-years, and one
shouldn't be surprised.
Not that I'm saying the rural wealthy and
urban elite have deliberately organised an air-crash with nefarious aims - that
would be conspiracy-theories' gone mad! But, that it has helped reduce the
fabric of society and quality of life of the nation, is exactly the sort of
convenient, coincident synergy, those pretentions, preening old-Etonian prick's
feed on, nay; thrive-on!
The Red Arrows, unable to perform as they used
too and no longer raising funds for charity will face the axe that 'did for' Gemini,
the Black Diamonds, the Blades, the Blue Chips, the Macawas, the Poachers, and
the Red Pelicans . . . that saw-off the Naval Gun Teams, the REME Jeep Race and
the White Helmets.
