The RAF have announced that the Red Arrows will not be able to fly in Torbay in 2014 as part of the annual Torbay Royal Regatta. The team's only Devon shows will be at Dawlish and Dartmouth. We the undersigned ask the RAF to reconsider, and to reinstate this much-loved annual event http://www.torquayheraldexpress.co.uk/GROUNDED-Red-Arrows-won-t-fly-Torquay-year/story-20675949-detail/story.html
Last year was the first year my two young children (2yrs and 5yrs) were old enough to appreciate the Red Arrows and they were so excited, they loved the display! We were really looking forward to seeing them again this year.

This is wrong on so many reasons!.....This happens to be one of the oldest regattas; older than Dawlish & Dartmouth. Their going there because they both already have other air displays on...and torbay dont!......

Yes, it would be a shame but be respectful of other towns' rights too. Ref some of the comments about Dawlish, how would Torbay residents feel if The Red Arrows said sorry we're cancelling your day & doing Plymouth instead as its bigger and more important than you.....?

Tourists and locals regard The Red Arrows as the high spot of the year.It would be a massive betrayal of the loyalty and importance Torquay shares with the Services.Please honour the ongoing partnership and commitment.

We have enjoyed the Red Arrows in Torquay for the past 19 years that we have lived here. Our holiday guests choose the Regatta week and the Red Arrows display is the cherry on the top ~ everybody loves the thrills it brings. Please re-consider? Our tourist trade depends on it!

it will be so disappointing if the red arrows do not fly in Torquay. Dawlish and Dartmouth are not that easy to get to and are so busy in the summer. I have watched them and admired them in Torquay for website and they are loved by so many. Please come to Torquay
