Omg Kharma, are you at the Shoreham show? Are you okay?

I just saw the video from the crash. Horrifying.

No......

I was at the Bournemouth one......

That "not too well" at the moment geezer in the hunter was due to come down to us after that show....So I believe.....

It looks like all the people wiped out were driving on the main road (A27) that goes past the airport......

A red Devil pilot went down at our show a few years ago......

Sad day........That was......

I drive past it every day on the way to work......

And on some mornings as the sun is just rising......With the light the right way......It's awesome.....

I really should put my camera in the van and take a photo......

Glad you're ok.

That is horrible. I am at a loss for words as well. Tragedies like this are never easy to hear, let alone see. I saw the video clip on the news and had to turn away.

Air shows are spectacles of wonder, but I have to ask if it is worth it when things like this happen. Beautiful to watch them fly, but I think maybe seeing them close up on the ground would be better than this.

Sorry, just the sadness for the families talking.

No....It was just the Vulcan.....And today (Should it go ahead)...Will be the last time it will be seen flying....They cannot maintain it any longer.....

No Lancaster this year either...A Dakota took it's place.....

Also looks like I missed the Mig 15.......Bollocks.....
