It is not the Mod. Restricted airspace would have been established under Article 161 of the ANO for the duration of the Reds' display - if the infringer can be identified it is likely that he or she will be prosecuted by the CAA. If found guilty, the usual outcome seems to be a fine.

I'm guessing the Reds would have had a Traffic Service from Luton, which is probably how they were alerted.
