King's Park is 6NM from the END of 6/24.
Fokker would have been 2000+ feet clear of the Hawk at that point.
Surely you just hold civil traffic on the ground, or out of the area for a short period while the military flypast takes place.
Only one Hawk??
We recently flew 100 aircraft, about half Fast Jets including a 22 Typhoon formation, 12 hawks, 8 Tornados, and the Red Arrows, over central London at about 1500 ft, and then dispersing in the Heathrow overhead.
No problem, and caused minimal departure delays with a bit of forward planning.
