Talk:2015 Shoreham Airshow crash

Pilot negligence?
Would this be classed as pilot negligence? From what I’m seeing on the news it sure does sound like it.

 * There is currently a criminal trial underway to determine the answer to exactly that question. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:53, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * The defence case seems to rest on the claim that Hill was incapacitated, or at least impaired, by the g-forces of the manoeuvre. A brief news clip, like that ITV snippet, can't properly examine the exact timeline of those g-forces (which may or may not have been accurately recorded for later scrutiny) nor with the issue of whether the incapacitation was recklessly, or unintentionally, self-inflicted.

Thank you for the help! Ill note in the summary that the pilot was incapacitated. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 10:58, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Well after getting round to this accident as I was doing ofhers earlier. The prosecution is still occurring as the pilot has appealed the courts judgment, so until then we’ll see what happens. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 10:14, 14 February 2019 (UTC)


 * The trial is ongoing. The court has not yet made "a judgement". So he can't yet make any "appeal". Hill is giving evidence in his own defence. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:41, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Yes, I know don’t worry I’m watching the news and reading the papers. I am keeping close watch on this accident in particular. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 23:01, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Wrong location referenced for airport and crash site.
There is No mention of Lancing even though the airport and the crash were both in lancing not Shoreham. Tried editing but removed. 86.16.123.86 (talk) 09:25, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Lancing is listed as the location of the airport in other wiki pages but not mentioned here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brighton_City_Airport PrinceAndrewoops (talk) 09:40, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
