Will have an impact on future shows, IMHO, the government will tighten the rules

CAP403 is pretty comprehensive already as applied in the UK, the CAA may wish to rewrite their guidance material however referencing the hunter on page 5:

Well the CAA has put restrictions on "vintage jets".

Prelim report.
Pilot commenced loop at 200ft rather than 500ft. He ran out of sky. Looks like pilot error. |

The pilot, Andy Hill, was a former RAF Harrier pilot and British Airways Captain, highly experienced, professional, well known and well loved for his display and aerobatic flying. Amazingly he survived the crash, but was taken to hospital with critical injuries (now in a specialist hospital for treatment).
Such a tragic accident, and my thoughts go out to the families of the pilot and 11 male victims.
