I always find it of interest that those involved in aviation focus on the facts of some particular accident rather than look at the underlying principle thrown up by the facts.
The important underlying principle is that even when aerobatics are being performed by the very best pilots flying well maintained aircraft, accidents do happen. The Red Arrows display not only in the UK but around the world.
Should the Red Arrows, who perform not only the UK, but across the Globe, be banned? Of course not.
So there is no doubting where I am coming from on the issues thrown-up, my late father not only performed aerobatics, as a QFI he taught aerobatics too
