The pilot also appeared to obey the 600 meter rule for 'built up' areas, with his downwind track being well out over the water and further reducing his available space.
Questione: Would a PPL ever be trained to do a right hand tear drop timed circling approach, to enable a tighter radius by turning into wind, away from the obstructions in the CDB and away from the low sun ? Would the air display organiser want to see a plan including that, for what was probably one of the few low level displays (a landing) of the day ?
You do realize that there was to be a display this year as in previous years by aircraft that have a mtow of 7257kg. Just saying.
