Royal global Air Tattoo organisers issue statement after Shoreham Air

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said it was considering whether air show safety requirements should change.

British police said Monday that at least 11 people were killed in the Shoreham airshow crash disaster and the final death toll could reach 20 as workers continued to inspect the devastation surrounding the accident site, reported Telegraph.

The Hawker Hunter plane, of a type developed by Britain in the 1950s, struck several cars on Saturday on the major road next to Shoreham airport near Brighton, where the show was taking place.

Flying displays over land by vintage aircraft will be significantly restricted and limited to flypasts, with acrobatics banned.

The Hawker Hunter which crashed at Shoreham was not due to appear at Clacton on either day of the event.

A picture taken moments before the crash shows half-a-dozen people watching the air show on the verge of the A27 – yards from where the plane came down.

“It is possible that tonight and tomorrow we are going to find more bodies at the scene”, he added.

A crane lifted part of the aircraft wreckage from the highway on Monday.

Worthing United footballers Matthew Grimstone and Jacob Schilt, both 23, who were on their way to play a game were killed, along with personal trainer Matt Jones, 24, and wedding limousine driver Maurice Abrahams, 76.

THE organisers behind CarFest South have announced that no air displays will take place at the weekend’s event at Laverstoke Park.

The pilot of the aircraft Andy Hill, 51, from Sandon, near Buntingford in Hertfordshire, remains in a critical condition in hospital, having been pulled from the burning wreckage. Individual display pilots are only granted approval following a thorough test of their abilities.

A spokesman for Sussex Police said officers from Hampshire were helping them with the recovery of victims from the crash scene and their identification.

Pilot Andrew Hill is fighting for his life and has been put into a medically induced coma following the crash.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch may issue an interim report if a cause such as engine failure can be quickly established, but a full report is likely to take many months.

“Incidents of this kind are thankfully very rare and safety is, of course, always our primary objective”.

“The decision is to have the commentator pay tribute to all those who died – or were affected in other way – by what happened at Shoreham”, he added.
