The Hawker Hunter jet came down on the A27 on Saturday. All of those who died are thought to have been on the road, which remains closed. | |
'Never the same' | |
Emergency teams are now focusing on recovering the victims who were found, Mr Barry said. | |
The site has also been extended beyond the initial 400yd (365m) zone that was first identified. | |
Mr Barry said the aircraft would be taken to Farnborough for examination, and vehicles and other debris still had to be removed from the scene. | |
"I appreciate that things will never be the same again in Shoreham," he said. | |
But he said emergency teams were determined to provide answers to those who had lost loved ones. | |
Highways England said the A27 was expected to remain closed in both directions until Saturday. | |
A spokesman said highways officers were supporting the investigation and would then repair the damaged road surface. | |
West Sussex coroner Penny Schofield said identifying the victims of the crash would be a slow and painstaking operation. | |
"The fire was so intense and the scale of the damage so vast, it means that we must very carefully remove the remains in a way that will lead to a formal identification," she said. | |
She said inquests would be opened and the deceased released to their families once formal identification process was complete. | |
Books of condolence have been opened by three local authorities and the flag is flying at half-mast at County Hall in Chichester. | |
