The operator of G-TIMM did not have an SMS as part of its OCM although it stated that it used a risk-based approach when formulating provisions within the OCM. The operator had not identified any elevated risk arising from the experience, training or currency of the pilot of G-TIMM.
and from one of the Shoreham Hunter bulletins:

In 2014 the pilot of G-BXFI was evaluated in relation to his Display Authorisation (DA) by a member of the same display team. This was also the case for the pilot involved in the 2015 fatal accident to Folland Gnat T.Mk1 G-TIMM26 at a flying display at Oulton Park, Cheshire.
Throwing a pebble into the pond and bearing mind both aircraft were based at the same airfield, is the AAIB hinting at a specific organisational issue that may come to light? The display community is relatively small, especially the jet side of the house.
