Another Reds Issue?

Red 10s taxi departed Waddo as planned this morning, but turned around near Holbeach.
Few mins later saw this - reads like a fleet wide issue?
Unfortunately, today’s display by the Red Arrows at Cromer Carnival will not go ahead. This is due to unforeseen technical issues we are working to resolve but which will not be completed in time for the show. We regret not being able to perform at Cromer but safety is our highest priority.
Don't think I've noticed any T2s up from Valley or Leeming either actually.

I'm led to believe they have cancelled their Eastbourne display today ?

My systems didn't log any Hawks (T1 or T2) yesterday or today.
Ejection seat has to be high on the list of most common element between both I would have thought.

Yea - both use Mk 10s. T1 is Mk10B and T2 is Mk10LH according to Google.
They're not even out on the pan so it was never going to happen today.

Not looking too rosy for RAF Odiham Families Day tomorrow, for decent Weather or Reds being there?
Reds should be at Odiham now through tomorrow for Thurs/Fri Airborne Eastbourne displays before relocating to 'Sarfend' for the Sat/Sun displays.
