Rob,
Suspect in those days it was the residue of wartime phlegmatism. Johnny's bought it - can I have his egg at breakfast please.
In more recent times I was at Fairford in 1993 when the two Sukhois collided. The display continued. It was thought cancellation & mass exit would complicate rescue/recovery though in fact both pilots had ejected safely. Worst injury was to Belgian Air Force personnel who, under falling wreckage, had to hastily evacuate their vantage point atop a Hercules!!
