The families of those tragically lost in the Shoreham air disaster have expressed their deep dismay and anger at pilot Andrew Hill’s bid to resume flying. They view his attempt as a profound insult to the memory of the victims and an additional source of distress for their grieving families.
In 2015, the catastrophic incident saw Mr Hill’s 1950s Hawker Hunter aircraft erupt into flames as it failed to complete a stunt above a crowded air show in West Sussex. Eleven individuals lost their lives in this horrific accident, and sixteen others sustained injuries. The crash also resulted in the destruction of eight vehicles on the A27 dual-carriageway.
