[vintage-and-warbirds] Red Arrows pull out of Farnborough Air Show aerobatics after Shoreh

Hard to believe….

From Dudley Henriques….
The Hunter crash at Shoreham resulted in a HUGE restructuring of the regulations governing airshows in the UK. There is a lot more involved here than meets the eye.
The Arrows have simply been caught up in the aftermath.
There are certain venues in the UK that now fall under the restrictions of the new regulations as far as airspeeds, aerobatic box dimensions and minimum altitudes over congested areas. Farnborough unfortunately presents violations in the turn around areas due to extremely dense housing close in to the display area.
The Farnborough show seems to be one of the first venues to fall under the new safety regulations.
