| The pilot of the crashed jet, Andrew Hill, 51, of Sandon, near Buntingford in Hertfordshire, is in a medically-induced coma in hospital where his condition is critical. | |
| In a statement, his family said they were "devastated and deeply saddened" by the loss of life and sent "prayers and heartfelt condolences to the families of all those affected". | |
| The Shoreham Airshow organiser, the Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA), said it was assisting the Air Accident Investigations Branch investigation and defended the event's safety record. | |
| In a statement, RAFA said: "The team at Shoreham have many years of experience in running air shows throughout the UK. | |
| "All aircraft have to be certificated and all pilots authorised by the CAA before they are allowed to undertake display routines at any air show." | |
| RAFA confirmed Mr Hill was not originally meant to pilot the plane. Chris Heames was originally listed as the pilot in the air show's programme, but it was decided last month that Mr Hill would fly the aircraft instead. | |
| Air shows | |
| Other air shows across the country are due to go ahead, many including a minute's silence in memory of those killed in the Shoreham crash. | |

| It said the ban on the Hawker Hunter remained in place and other aircraft would be limited to flypasts. Aerobatics will not be permitted. | |
