AIR show managers in Oxfordshire are reviewing how their events are run in the wake the Shoreham crash, which is thought to have killed at least 11 people.

Organisers of Abingdon Air and Country Show said they would review arrangements for next year’s displays after the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) banned vintage jets from performing acrobatics over land at shows following the deadly crash on Saturday.

A host of air shows across the country will take place over the Bank Holiday weekend, but some have altered their schedules.

The Shoreham crash, on the A27 in West Sussex, involved a vintage Hawker Hunter jet and has prompted regulatory body the CAA to issue restrictions on shows “until further notice” and on the flying of vintage jets.

An air display is also due to take place at the Uffington White Horse Show near Faringdon on Sunday and Monday but organiser Edward Preece said displays, including a flypast by a Vulcan bomber, and a stunt show by pilot Mark Jefferies, would not be affected.

Mr Preece, 49, chairman of the organising committee for the Uffington show, said a review had taken place following the Shoreham crash.

He added: “The Vulcan team has confirmed that the CCA guidelines following Shoreham will not affect them as they will be doing a flypast. Mark Jefferies’ display is based on aerobatics but our advice is that his display will not be affected because it is not a vintage jet.

“Shoreham was a tragedy for all those involved and affected.”

Organiser for the Abingdon show at Abingdon Airfield Neil Porter said he did not think the restrictions would still be in place on May 1 next year – when their annual event is due to take place – but he said if they were still imposed they would be discussed at length.

Mr Porter added: “At present the CAA has temporarily put in certain restrictions on vintage jet aircraft only, which allow them to perform a series of flypasts over land-based airshows only until such time the restrictions are reviewed and lifted.

“All other types are not affected. This will not have an effect at Abingdon.

“However, should any restriction be placed on future shows within the UK, including ours, then we will of course discuss these at length and adjust accordingly in the near future.”

He added: “Our show at Abingdon (and any other civilian run air show) is run under stringent guidelines set out by the CAA and we have to follow the rule book CAP403 – Flying Displays and Special Events: A Guide to Safety and Administrative Arrangements.

“Within this comprehensive book are a set of guidelines we the organisers must follow. Distances are set between spectators and the display lines which display aircraft must follow.

“We have, for example, a Flying Display Director who is responsible for air safety, assisted by at least two Flying Control Committee members, all with past military backgrounds and extensive air show experience.”

Mr Porter said: “If a display pilot deviates from the rules as set by the CAA, the Flying Display Director and Flying Control Committee stop them displaying, they are debriefed and then re-allowed at a later date to display again.

“Also at our show, inspectors from both the CAA and Military Aviation Authority governing bodies are present on the airfield.”
