Crash at Shoreham Air show
Discussion
Pretty shocking stuff.
From the PlanesTV video (which now seems to be pulled) the aircraft looked really slow into the loop. It was then that a mate spotted that potentially the flaps were lowered pulling up into the loop.
I'm no pilot but I'm not sure that is right is it?
Pretty local to me, and nuts to think that an aircraft can come down in the middle of that traffic light section.

I don't know whether it's of the plane at the show, but if it does it would seem to show the flaps deployed.

Nope. Speed required to loop a Hunter exceeds the max allowable speed for flap deployment by all accounts, but as to why they were deployed, that'll be for AAIB.From the PlanesTV video (which now seems to be pulled) the aircraft looked really slow into the loop.

Oh! Why did have to come down on the road - so unfortunate. A few yards further might have made all the difference 
Gutted absolutely gutted for those poor people
I imagine you didn't quite mean to put it that way did you?Gutted absolutely gutted for those poor people
I hope the injured and bereaved fully appreciate the defensive arguments from those in favour of stunt flying geriatric military fast jets that are due to follow...
RIP to those out for a drive on a sunny Saturday afternoon...
btw this is the "polite" version

I can't explain or justify why I watched that but I'm really sorry that I did. Just awful.Mojocvh said:
