I live in Shoreham, drive the A27 regularly, love the airshow and would hate to see it terminated or emasculated. It would seem to me to be an adequate response to this tragedy if the administration and planning of the show be tightened up in appropriate ways - which I'm not qualified to assess.
I was also present and witnessed the Hurricane crash in 2007. Without trawling though interminable posts I think it's worth noting - if it hasn't already been noted - that the Hurricane crash occurred barely a few hundred yards from the site of the Hunter accident and very close (on the hillside to the north) to the A27. It was, as far as I recollect, at least partially a consequence of an unplanned manoeuvre. I wonder if the Hurricane accident had any influence on the subsequent planning?
