Are there regulations on the UK Statute book governing air displays, other than those issued by the CAA? Clearly their existing regulations do not cover the case here otherwise they would not be reflecting on whether they should create new ones.
See this on the BBC website.
The CAA states that directors of air shows "should consider imposing minimum height restrictions over local sensitive and congested areas".
But, in its advice to pilots, it remarks that the Hunter "has little difficulty sustaining, or regaining speed and/or altitude during a low-level display".
The CAA also defines the loop as among the simplest aerobatic manoeuvres.
