AWESOME seeing '558 fly as Red 10. 

A pity they didn't fly her on Friday though, I doubt I'll manage to see her fly before she's grounded now.

Cant help but notice that the Japanese are getting a little more adventurous about sending military hardware for display outside of the homeland.

It took a change in their constitution IIRC.

Anyone Whiffed a Vulcan in the Red Arrows scheme?

Which I don't think has been voted on yet in their Parliament. There was an interesting article in the Independent about the workings of the Japanese Parliament. I found the differences fascinating

No, it took "a change in interpretation" of the Japanese Constitution.  Nothing has changed, just the way the words are now interpreted by the Government.   Its an easy way of getting around various bits which are annoying.   They would need a referendum to actually change the Constitution and those don't always work out the way that the Government of the day wants.  Of course the UK having no Constitution just an act of Parliament, has it the easiest way (and the most dangerous IMO).

Just the Magna Carta to lean back on...........
