>it's mostly the idea of the Red Arrows using them
That reason alone is why I think the Aeralis idea is the most likely one to be chosen, in the UK from what I saw the Reds are seen as a national symbol, here in Italy it's kinda the same but we have a shitload of smelly ""anti-war"" lunatics that want their disbandment since they "promote war" "cost too much" etc.

No real commitment by European nations. Everyone tiptoed (Italy/Aermacchi as well) until it fizzled out into nothingess.
