A coroner has apologised to the families of 11 men who were killed in the Shoreham Airshow tragedy for their seven-year wait for answers.
West Sussex senior coroner Penelope Schofield expressed her "deepest regret" that the ordeal endured by relatives of those who died had been "added to" by delays to the inquest.
The men died when a plane taking part in a display in August 2015 crashed into the A27. A further 13 people were injured. The pilot of the Hawker Hunter plane, Andrew Hill, was charged with 11 counts of manslaughter by gross negligence but found not guilty on all counts in March 2019. He maintains he has no recollection of the crash.
The inquest was originally opened on 2 September 2015 but adjourned in 2018 due to the criminal trial of Mr Hill. The inquest resumed in March 2019 after the trial, but hearings set for September 2020 were adjourned due to the pandemic.
