Having read the AAIB special bulletin, one thing that has grabbed my attention is the map of Shoreham airfield along with the restricted airspace around it.

It is no wonder that the Red Arrows do not display at the show as with the lack of free airspace around the actual airfield, there would be no place for the big formations to fly without infringing the "no fly " airspace.

Even flying a Fast jet as a singleton pilot must raise quite a few issues as to where and how to turn and how best to achieve the maximum time in front of the audience and yet stay within the constraints imposed by the organisers and the unshown constraint of controlled airspace above.

I suspect that these issues will have an effect on recommendations for the future of Shoreham Airports displays , altho' I hope that despite the tragic recent events the Airshow should continue , with suitable caveats .
