I have no idea if that is correct.
There's a list here

In Cars: 5
On Motorcycle: 1
On bicycles: 2
Spectating: 3

In my opinion, airshow accidents are highly regrettable, but also will occur for as long as we have airshows. Given that, to a large extent the major questions should be far less about the conduct of the Hunter pilot, and far more about the assumptions and planning which led to that location as a display line.
