"RED ARROWS SAY OLYMPICS BAN FEARS ARE 'UNFOUNDED'
Aerobatics team the Red Arrows has moved to scotch rumours that it has been banned from performing at the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony.
A national newspaper and numerous websites have reported that event organisers believe the Lincolnshire-based team's military background "might offend other nations".
It is alleged that the Department for Culture, Media and Sport ruled last week that the RAF Scampton squad is "unsuitable" and "not in keeping with the event as they were too militaristically British".
But team spokesman Rachel Huxford said: "We have had no discussions about the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics whatsoever.
"We are still planning our 2008 season at this stage and that is a long way off. We understand that no decision has yet been made about the ceremony.
"We performed when London won its Olympic bid in 2005 after we received a standard request from the Olympic organisers."
