Shoreham Airshow crash: Jet pilot to be questioned by police.

The pilot of the vintage jet that crashed during the Shoreham Airshow, killing 11 people, is set to be questioned by police and investigators.



Andrew Hill was left fighting for his life after the Hawker Hunter plane failed to pull out of a loop-the-loop stunt and plummeted on to the A27 in West Sussex.

He has reportedly been released from an undisclosed specialist hospital and faces questioning "as soon as possible".

A Sussex Police spokesman said: "The pilot's condition is improving.

"Police and investigators from the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB), who are conducting parallel investigations, are looking to interview the pilot as soon as possible.

"We are not permitted to disclose his location as this is a private matter for which we do not have the family's permission."

An interim report released by the AAIB found "no abnormal indications" during the Hawker Hunter flight.

Investigators also said cockpit cameras showed the 1950s jet "appeared to be responding to the pilot's control inputs".

The victims who died were: wedding chauffeur Maurice Abrahams 76, from Brighton; retired engineer James Graham Mallinson, 72, from Newick, near Lewes; window cleaner and general builder Mark Trussler, 54, from Worthing; cycling friends Dylan Archer, 42, from Brighton, and Richard Smith, 26, from Hove; NHS manager Tony Brightwell, 53, from Hove; grandfather Mark Reeves, 53, from Seaford; Worthing United footballers Matthew Grimstone and Jacob Schilt, both 23; personal trainer Matt Jones, 24; and Daniele Polito, 23, from Worthing.

The inquest into their deaths was opened and adjourned last week by West Sussex senior coroner Penelope Schofield. A pre-inquest review will take place on March 22.

Going to be interesting to see if it all boils down to pilot error...

[DJSmurf2010]

Its looking that way. I read last week that according to reports, he started the loop over 100ft lower than what he should have done.

I *hope* it's not human error. I can't imagine what it would feel like to know that a split second decision you made resulted in the death of 11people.

That being said, I know nothing about aviation whatsoever but that plane looked insanely low to me. I wonder if there might have been an issue with the instruments or something?

Its going to take time. The police are involved as there is a criminal investigation due to the deaths...I still think he grayed out.

UK prosecutors charge Shoreham airshow crash pilot with manslaughter

A pilot whose vintage contender stream collided with a bustling street in southern England in 2015, killing 11 individuals, has been accused of murder, prosecutors said on Wednesday (March 21).

Pilot Andrew Hill was playing out an aerobatic exhibition show at the Shoreham Airshow when the crash happened, the third – and by a wide margin the most dangerous – at the occasion since 2007.

The Hawker Hunter plane, of a sort created by Britain in the 1950s, struck a few autos on the major A27 street alongside Shoreham air terminal close Brighton, where the show was occurring.

Slope was genuinely harmed yet survived. Eleven individuals, some of them in their autos or on the roadside, were slaughtered.

“There is adequate proof to accuse Andrew Hill of the murder by net carelessness of the 11 men who passed on,” Simon Ringrose, the looking into legal counselor, was refered to as saying by in an announcement from Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service.

He said Hill would likewise be accused of imperiling an air ship and would show up under the steady gaze of the courts “at the appropriate time”.

The crash provoked Britain to report new wellbeing confinements on airshows.
