Totally agree about the high speed passes - the sound is a joy to hear.

Perhaps a slight conflict between what aviation specialists do not want to see and what tens of thousands of 'fee-payers' do?
I can guess your response to that.
Watching vintage aircraft at Shuttleworth being displayed gently on a sunny afternoon or balmy summer's evening is a unique pleasure, but that's not how airshow crowds like to see fighters being flown. Nor do I, but I know we don't agree about the style of the pilot who was regarded not only by the crowds but by other display pilots as the Master.
BTW, there were particular circumstances relating to the Firefly accident which I'm sure will not be repeated.
