Boeingboy, thank you for saying that. As an air show person of more than 35 years standing, I believe that these things need saying.

Kevin Whyman was absolutely doing what he loved - but the effect on his family and loved ones is undoubtedly catastrophic.

I do believe, however, that we have to remember that no spectator has been killed at a British air show since 1952. That is something to be grateful for - grateful for the work of the CAA, and various bodies like the Air Display Association Europe and its successor the British Air Display Association.

RIP
