High-speed Aircraft overflying spectators....

Sensible IMHO. The entire north eastern end of the display line is overhead large residential areas and retail parks. Singletons will be able to adjust displays to avoid, but an aerobatic display team with what is really a fixed sequence, a team who fly single engined aeroplanes in close formation aeros, it's the pragmatic call.

There are far better places to see the Reds anyway without going to what is essentially a trade show.
