These things do happen. When you go to an air show you accept an element of risk. But why was the manoeuvre performed heading towards the spectators? This takes us back to John Derry and the DH110 at Farnborough in 194? where I was a very shaken young spectator on "the mound". After which disaster the rules for display flying were tightened up. Well not really - they were written for the first time. Condolences to the nearest and dearest of the deceased. And sympathies to the crew who banged out successfully and have got to live with this catastrophe.
