ECONOMIC necessity has caused Lucas Industries to abandon sponsorship of the Parachute Regiment's Red Devils, whose electrifying performances have thrilled hundreds of thousands of people. I have tried in vain to think of another appropriate backer from the motor industry.
The most obvious sponsor would be the firm whose product is claimed to prevent that sinking feeling. On the other hand, cigarette manufacturers are dedicated to sport, but any promotion of the Red Devils by the tobacco industry would have to be accompanied by the warning that free falling without a parachute can seriously damage one's health.
