A letter urging the government to replace the Red Arrows aircraft earlier than planned to safeguard British jobs has been signed by 142 MPs.
Gainsborough MP Sir Edward Leigh is among the signatories.
The letter says unless urgent action is taken, the next generation of the Red Arrows - which are based at RAF Scampton - may have to built overseas.
It's after 2,000 job losses were announced at defence firm BAE Systems last week.
