I, too, hope they don’t get disbanded. The Red Arrows are wonderful. I’ve seen them many times. I saw them fly at Chatsworth after one of their number had been recently killed in a crash. The formation was eight and a gap and it was very poignant to see it. There were many people in tears in the crowd, including me. But, as Maw rightly says, any kind of unacceptable behaviour of whatever kind, even in an elite outfit, needs to be weeded out and examples made. As for diversity, there are now an increasing number of female fighter pilots, I believe, in the RAF, and women in the upper echelons of all branches of the forces. It was particularly good to see so many women in Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery at the Trooping of the Colour - officers too. They are another elite unit.
