There's also speculation that there was an engine flameout, or that it wasn't developing full power.

Really?There's also speculation that there was an engine flameout, or that it wasn't developing full power.
.
Although I'm sure you'll refuse to accept as fact anything contained within the AAIB interim report anyway.

It does not matter you were there or not. If you're not an aviation expert you simply could not know what your talking about.
I accept but of course it matters if I was there 
I'm no expert but I'm entitled to express my view as a witness and I have good working ears.
The so called 'flash' as seen in various pictures in the Daily Mail for example and identified as possible flameouts are not correct and are nothing to do with the engine.
I'm happy to stand by my thoughts here regardless of my experience, however thanks for your reply.

Well it's all over bar the shouting and pretty much in line with what most peopke who have displayed jet fighters thought within 48hrs. Andy Hills cocked it up by starting too low.
I'm not surprised. He's getting on a bit and only had forty hours on type. Low level display flying is an unforgiving hobby.
Hopefully they will still let these older aircraft fly and display but restrict them to nothing more challenging than a few low level turns. It's nice to see these things fly but it's not necessary to see them being hurled about performing what these days are unimpressive and mediocre aerobatics.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to control the pilots more closely rather than the aircraft? An incompetent pilot will be a higher risk no matter what restrictions are placed on the aircraft.I'm not surprised. He's getting on a bit and only had forty hours on type.

The full report is written and as always in these cases it is circulated to interested parties before publication. That's the shouting phase.
It's easier and more comprehensive just to restrict what these Cold War era aircraft do at displays. That solves the concerns about both pilot competence and aircraft engineering. 40hrs on type achieved non intensively ain't much for the riskiest sort of peace time flying activity.

How do we know youre not a troll 
And if he did start too low, did he know that or was there some mess up in the setting of the altimeter for the day
