2015 Shoreham Airshow crash
On 22 August 2015, a vintage jet aircraft crashed during a display at the Shoreham Airshow at Shoreham Airport, England, killing 11 people and injuring 16 others. It was the deadliest air show accident in the United Kingdom since the 1952 Farnborough air show crash, which killed 31 people.
The aircraft, a Hawker Hunter T7, failed to complete a loop manoeuvre and crashed onto vehicles on the A27 trunk road. The pilot survived the crash, and was placed in a medically-induced coma. As a result of the accident, all civilian-registered Hawker Hunter aircraft in the United Kingdom were grounded, and restrictions were put in place on civilian vintage jet aircraft displays over land, limiting them to flypasts and banning high energy aerobatic manoeuvres.

The aircraft was a vintage two-seat Hawker Hunter T7, registration serial 41H-670815,〔 displaying its former military serial number WV372 as part of its livery. Having first flown for the Royal Air Force (RAF) in July 1955, it was rebuilt following a fire, returning to service in 1959 after conversion to T7 specification.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hawker Hunter – Survivor WV372 (G-BXFI) )〕 It had been making civilian display flights as a warbird since 1998, under a variety of owners.〔 At the time of the incident, it was owned by Graham Peacock, and based at North Weald Airfield, Essex.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Clacton Airshow will 'go ahead' in wake of Shoreham crash )〕 The aircraft had flown to Shoreham from North Weald and was scheduled to return there after the display.〔
Andy Hill, the 51-year-old pilot, was described by colleagues as experienced, with more than 12,000 flight hours. He had worked as a captain at British Airways. He had flown Harrier Jump Jets and worked as an instructor for the RAF before joining the airline. As well the Hawker Hunter, he flew a Van's Aircraft RV-8 and a BAC Jet Provost at airshows.
