Five of the victims have now been named. | |
Pilot Andy Hill failed to complete a loop manoeuvre immediately before the 1950s aircraft crashed. | |
He remains in a critical but stable condition in an unnamed specialist hospital after initial treatment at the Royal Sussex in Brighton. | |
The wreckage of the aeroplane has been taken to the Air Accidents Investigation Branch in Farnborough, Hampshire, with an interim report due to be published "in due course". | |
The A27 remains closed but Highways England said the emergency services had handed the eastbound carriageway back to them overnight. | |
It is expected the westbound carriageway will be handed back later. | |
A spokesman said it was likely to take three days to repair the road before it can reopen. | |
Sussex Police have thanked local people for their support after they received an "overwhelming" number of food donations for the hundreds of officers involved in the investigation. | |
"While we appreciate the support, we ask that if you still want to donate food please take it to one of the local food banks," said Assistant Chief Constable Steve Barry. | |
The Shoreham community has donated more than £15,000 to an online appeal to help the families of those affected. |
