I was there both days - going to leave the speculation to others but thankfully the AAIB have a welcome bonus following this incident - both pilots are still with us.
Not sure what the reference to Duxford is about (BEagle posted "Flying Lawyer - do you see what I meant now about Duxford, old chum....??") but accidents are few and far between at airshows there - yes, we lost Hoof Proudfoot in the P-38 and the crew of the Firefly in recent years. I'd say it had a pretty good safety record. Accidents at airshows will happen now matter where they are held. The only way to prevent such events is to ground everything.
Mind you there are some armchair experts on various forums advocating that right now.....
