Most ex-mil jet accidents at shows? I can only think of the L-29 at a South coast show and the Vampire at Biggin. And on the non-show side you have the JP seat incident, the Strikemaster crash oop North, the JP forced landing on the mud flats, the Hunter crash this year, L-39 runway overrun at Duxford, L-39 forced landing near Duxford, etc. Going to check the AAIB in a minute but my perception is there have been more non-show accidents by a substantial margin.

Edit - AAIB results (aircraft crashes or forced landings only) - my memory not so good (though there are several non-fatal incidents involving minor damage that are all non-airshow stuff which I haven't included).

Hunter G-HHUN - airshow
Hunter G-KAXF - airshow transit
L-29 G-MAYA - airshow
Vampire G-DHAV - airshow
Meteor (RAF vintage pair) - airshow
Vampire (RAF vintage pair) - airshow

JP G-BWBS - aeros (non airshow)
JP G-BYED - local flight
JP G-TOMG - pleasure flight
L-39 G-BZVL - training
Strikey G-BXFX - air test
L-39 ? - training? (not on AAIB yet)
