When they returned to Kemble, the pilots offered to do a practice routine (8 mins I think from memory). The PFA controller initially asked them to hold while he cleared some departing a/c, and then called them in when he considered it safe to do so.
You may have a point but, if it shouldn't have happened, it's hardly the fault of the pilots. They made an offer, it was accepted, and they were given ATC clearance. It's all in the ATC tapes.
