Your statement as quoted is not correct. In CAP403 it always has been, and sill is, permissible to commence a loop from the Flypast minima. AH was above his for the final manoeuvre. Where you can fly below SERA 5005 minima and down to your DA minima is a separate issue for which there was considerable ambiguity at the time of the accident. As a Hunter DAE, I consider the minimum entry speed for a singleton Hunter T7 to pull up for a complete loop is 350 KIAS. AH pulled up at 310 +/- 15 KIAS.
