I see lots of heads buried deep in sand here.
I think it is your own head that is buried deep in the sand.
The SI report is of an incident that happened two and a half years ago. Much of its findings in respect of "culture" are based on theory, without supporting fact, and have been refuted. Since the incident nearly all personnel on the RAFAT, pilots and supporting personnel have changed. The team has a new chain of command and updated procedures. They have been inspected umpteen times and received glowing reports. They have had two excellent display seasons and several foreign display tours. The RAF clearly believes that they are fit for purpose.
So on what grounds do you think the CAA should now intervene to stop them displaying?
