No. Chris Heames flew the Hunter at Shoreham 2014, although it may well have been AH who was originally scheduled to do so (the situation was reversed in 2015 with AH stepping in to cover for CH, who was down to fly it but had a holiday commitment).
"Mr Heames, from Stamford, Lincolnshire, is one of Britain's most experienced pilots with more than 13,500 flying hours including 6,000 in fast jets and 3,500 in gliders.
He said he flew the Hawker Hunter jet at the event last year and said he had no concerns about safety there.
'It very clear where you have to fly and it's very carefully planned,' he said. 'I flew the same plane at the same event last year and the year before. I have no concerns over safety there.'"
Revealed: Shoreham crash pilot was only flying the plane after swapping with colleague who had booked a holiday
