Strikes me as similar in many ways to the P-38 crash at Duxford many years ago and in some ways to the Kingcobra crash at Biggin Hill. I am experienced in aerobatics but not in display flying, but I find myself asking why the pilots ever attempted these manoeuvres which - in the cold light of day - were doomed from the start. I mean, these were experienced, highly capable pilots, not amateurs. Truly cautionary tales for aspiring display pilots I think.
