Just read elsewhere that it was the synchro pair that collided. I think they are usually Red 6 and 7, and Flt Lt Kirsty Moore was Red 3.
Seriously though, the Red Arrows are the best of the best RAF Fast Jet Pilots, do you really think they would have anyone in the team who is not up to the task, regardless of gender? I'm sure other people thought the same as GSV Trig, but there really is no need for it, IMO.
I think he was joking....

It appears that training will continue, so I would expect the season to continue, whether that particular manouvre will be included remains to be seen! (Little matter of replacing an aircraft to consider as well!) However the pilots survived, which is the main thing.

I'm not sure whether they all learn each of the 9 positions or just specialise in one.
Good to hear that the damaged chap was OK-ish. 300 metres is damned low to bail out. If it had been the late, lamented Black Arrows, with the ejector seat that fired downwards he might have been in the poo.

Eagles may soar, but weasels never get sucked into jet intakes.
