He held a valid Display Authorisation (DA), issued by the UK CAA, to
display the Hawker Hunter to a minimum height of 100 ft during flypasts and 500 ft during
Standard3
category aerobatic manoeuvres.
and then
commenced a descending left turn to 200 ft amsl, approaching the display line at an angle
of about 45º. The aircraft then pitched up into a manoeuvre with both a vertical component
and roll to the left, becoming almost fully inverted at the apex of the manoeuvre at a height
of approximately 2,600 ft amsl.
The press appear to have focused on these two aspects.
