I have 2000 hours on type. I concur with your opinion. As for the CAA, their rules allowing AH to perform that display are unbelievably lax: in my view it should be taken to task, and should bear some of the responsibility.
That said, the verdict has been delivered. The poor chap will live with the consequences of his actions for the rest of his life. More tragically, so will the relatives of the
bereaved.
CAP 403 which governs Civilian Air Displays has been strengthened considerably post Shoreham (unsurprisingly). It is worth stating that AH was current in all requirements (as laid out then) to perform his display on the day.
