Shame, it was a very good display but you can't argue with the data.

I displayed the Lynx at Cosford this year and I'm sure people were disappointed that there were no backflips, loops and rolls but you just can't do that stuff any more - the Blue Eagles Lynx had G meters and in the F700 all the manouevres were recorded , each of which reduce component life significantly.

A private owner can't afford to do that and the permit to fly wouldn't allow it anyway.
