Years ago I went to a talk by Bill Bedford, and I don't think he'd agree with you.

He described, including a stunning picture with smoke trail, a time he almost spun a Hunter into the ground from 18 or 20,000 feet, and criticised his complacent bad preparation.

According to obituaries you can still read now, he was a lifetime campaigner for improved safety standards in demonstration flying.

There shouldn't be anyone who can fairly say this job is complete.
