It’s not a private performance it’s at one of the most well known places for people to photograph military aircraft in the U.K.
Yes, at any time there can be a handful of people there 
And comparison between this and with why the Evo Triangle has been 'ruined' is nonsense, that's as a result of consistent breaking of the law up there (by myself included, shoot me). As far as I can see no law (real law that is, not some made up playground law) has been broken in this instance.
I don't live far away and have toyed with the idea of heading to the Mach Loop on a few occasions but it's the Mach Loop regulars that put me off. Well that and the fact I lived on the North Norfolk Coast during the late 80's and seen more than enough USAF/RAF/NATO metal flying at low level and doing interesting stuff to last me a lifetime.

“Ownership” in this case is just another term for overall responsibility (like ownership of a project, or task ) it doesn’t mean you can take it home with you. As for the idiotic behaviour of the pilot in the Mach loop, well he / she is asking for a sanction at best.
What was "idiotic"?LaurasOtherHalf said:

I did convince a particularly angry and vocal chap that Trump was visiting the U.K. by posting up an image of Flightradar24, with a crude photoshop of Air Force One flying from the USA to the U.K. He rushed to Heathrow with a group of protesters
Although sadly, he defriended me on Facebook

tbh footage from the Loop isn’t even that interesting
Pretty good from onboard though https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kT7qrYi8R_Mt driving caught on camera' thread that features 9 mins of footage from the helmet cam of a Brazilian motorcycle cop chasing some lunatic at top speed through traffic/pedestrian infested streets. The bit where they go through the market would have given James Bond an aneurysm. It makes all this sort of stuff look dull as fk.4x4Tyke said:
The videos don't really do justice to the deep bellowing sound of the real thing. I used to watch them as kid practicing at the RAF Cowden range for hours, and very rarely you'd see them firing rockets at the offshore targets. The Buccaneers were good as well, they zoom in low and very fast by comparison, drop their practice bomb and be off in no time at all.
The blue practice bombs and rockets are forever turning up in beachcombers hands and popup on local FB groups which can be quite amusing with the frantic buzz they create despite being inert.
Oh wow!!The blue practice bombs and rockets are forever turning up in beachcombers hands and popup on local FB groups which can be quite amusing with the frantic buzz they create despite being inert.
We had a caravan at Aldborough, and used to stand on the cliff tops and watch the various jets buzz past.
I still have a blue bomb case somewhere. In fact, we used to collect all sorts of munitions from the beach, which nowadays would merit a full ATO turnout, We just stuck them in a bucket with all the fossils we found.....

It's entirely understandable. They're diehard loopers and they fear the publicity will adversely affect the flying there. Similar thing happened with the EVO triangle - as soon as it got heavily publicised idiots that thought they could drive travelled there from all over the country and got caught speeding. Now there's cameras and it's pretty much ruined.
Those of us who have to use part of the triangle on a regular basis are fking sick of over boosted Seats and other ste treating it like the fking Nurburgring. They drive like fk pellets, sit on your arse, face down on coming traffic and the fk off back to the scum estates they came from. f

Same thing happened with idiot bikers up here around the Cat and Fiddle. Then the publicity surrounding the escalating death toll ruined it for all those who enjoyed the roads sensibly.king sick of over boosted Seats and other ste treating it like the fking Nurburgring.

Going outside of the agreed and signed off sortie plan. I can’t imagine anyone signed what he / she did off. Doing that sort of thing in 125 million quids worth of tax payer owned asset, can lead to this.https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/governmen...
Let me get this right.
A handful of people here are saying it's ok to:
1. Fly an RAF Typhoon outside clearly defined rules. Rules that have been created so that when minor mistakes are made (pilots are human) newer versions of 1980s me don't have to go indentifying wreckage and pointing out gristle.
2. Drive a car at excessive speed on a public road where there have been serious accidents quite recently.
And not only say it's ok, but blame observers for a clamping down!
