I hope there are no serious injuries.

Not good news.
Sounds like it was right next to the A27.

Terrible news.

No escaping from that one I'm afraid. I think their bang seats are'nt. Just hope no one in the cars & it looks very close to a house too.

This is terrible.In view of this and other classic aircraft incidents it wouldn't be surprising if the CAA/AAIB don't decide to review their position regarding allowing such events to continue.Condolences to anyone affected. EricT

They say the pilot is alive and recovering in hospital? could that be true?,

it looks as if the aircraft took the roof off an armstrong siddeley vintage car, it's just an awful mess, my thoughts go out to all those people involved!!

BBC news reporting 7 dead, one critically injured.
Looking at video the loop started too low & he must have been on the buffet (i.e. stalled) from the top of the loop down.
Not nice, & maybe the CAA will clamp down, unless he had an engine problem (bird strike?).
Condolences to all persons affected.
