Although there have been no previous UK airshow accidents resulting in fatalities on the ground outside of the airfield boundary, over the years there have never the less been plenty of display aircraft come down outside of the airfield boundary. Some years there are several in the UK alone and include in service types such as the Red Arrows Hawk at Bournemouth. It has been a matter of good fortune that there were no ground fatalities in these accidents and very unfortunate at Shoreham.
