I just re-read something in the report where it states that the Display Authorisation to carry out low level aerobatics in a Hunter (AND a JP!!) was awarded by a CAA representative watching a display in an RV-8 piston engined home build!!!
There is the second elephant for goodness sake.
By the way, I am ex RAF and 3 tours on FJ.
Yes that was the big WTF? moment for me in the report as well, although there were others. As I said on the Flypast Forum no one comes out of this 'smelling of roses'.
