Stephen Jones, who saw the crash, said: "The aeroplane involved is a Hawker Hunter T mark 7. And he'd just begun his flying display.
"He'd gone up into a loop and as he was coming out of the loop I just thought, you're too low, you're too low, pull up.
"And he flew straight into the ground either on or very close to the A27, which runs past the airport."

Thoughts to the pilot and those involved.

Sad news - I feel for the poor sods on the A27 who were just going about their business when a vintage jet lands on them..

Just goes to show, you never know when your number is up. Even a trip to Tesco can end in a fireball...
