Agreed, paxboy. They said the same thing about Spits, Hurricanes and Lancasters after WWII
Aerobatic displays by these precious old aircraft should be banned. OK to have a reasonably low flypast so spectators can hear the sound of a Merlin and admire the beautiful lines of a Spitfire, Mustang and similar warbirds, but showing off by performing a slow roll, steep wingover or barrel roll at low altitude is quite risky and totally unnecessary. Over-enthusiasm often leads to pilot error.
