CGB/Tourist, my recollection (which may be wrong) is that RAFAT stopped displaying at Shoreham a number of years ago as the venue was considered unsuitable.

As has been noted you'd struggle to find any venue in UK that doesn't involve overflying some minor roads or non-participant members of public. The difference with Shoreham is that the tight confines of the airfield plus built up areas plus A27 made sure that "safe" options to put down (planned or otherwise) were particularly limited.
