However, it maybe because of the CAA grounding civilian hunters that those 2 couldn't be used. Has this been lifted does anyone know or is it still in place?
After all there is no real reason provided that all the maintenance is carried out correctly and the new guidelines meet etc that permit applications couldn't be considered - after all it would appear to be no heredity fault with the airframe itself. Aerobatics manoeuvres are still restricted for vintage jets and the Jet provosts have been displaying since without incident.
Not sure if the Hunter grounding has been removed but there may be issues in compliance with MPD2016-01 http://publicapps.caa.co.uk/modalapplication.aspx?catid=1&pagetype=65&appid=11&mode=deta il&id=7760
