Tragic event and shock will sometimes overrule thought processes. Even now the BBC are suggesting off shore displays. But as the Hunter came down on a road you really only have to look at Biggin, Duxford, Farnborough, Fairford and probably others where a roadway is close to the boundary fence. It's going to be a difficult call for display directors but as already said perhaps some calming of aerobatic manoeuvres, maybe a "Hard deck" to set a minimum level at which loops may be commenced with an added safety factor. Additionally, I wonder how much, if any, impact this will have on The Red Arrows.
Good new is that Clacton will go ahead, though this is mainly over the sea.
Pilot is hanging in there so hoping for a good recovery.
