You might be overthinking that. I doubt there is suppression.
This trial examines the case as brought against and defended by Mr Hill.
An inquest can examine other circumstances which weren't necessarily directly relevant to Mr Hill's conduct, but are part of the background context, such as airworthiness standards, organisational aspects, including display authorisations, and so on.
For instance, it would hardly be relevant to whether someone is allegedly acting negligently that they were acting in accordance with procedures they were permitted, and laid down by someone else. Thus not at this trial, by don't be surprised if the inquest makes recommendations about future air displays.
