Hawker Hunter performing at Shoreham, apparently crashes into some cars on the A27 after failing to pull off a loop.

The videos are not the best quality but it looks like he was going fairly slowly during the maneuver. Perhaps the aircraft stalled and/or mushed into the ground.
Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

Very sad......seems to be a recurring event during the summer shows!

As you say Conky......he looked very slow at the top of the loop and appeared to G stall at the bottom.

Looks like it crashed into some coned-off roadworks and there are people in a pub garden or car boot sale or something just to the right; so it could of been a much greater tragedy than it already was.
