Finally, confirmation that all my family are safe .... really, really, really releaved.
[MENTION=887]Boroseagull[/MENTION] - hope good news comes your way soon.

RIP to all those that lost their lives and my sincere condolences to the families and friends. Really shocking incident.

Many thanks to everyone on here for their good wishes and prayers - very much appreciated and just shows, despite our differences sometimes, we really are one great big family.

So pleased to hear this, I've been thinking about you all morning. I hope others still waiting receive good news soon.

Dreadful for everyone involved and their families.

I heard about this yesterday but didn't realise the sheer horror of it . My heart goes out to the victims and their families .

Thank you. I already have although more as a somber reflection of what could have been, and has been for others, than in a form of celebration.

just read that bit about Matt and Jason on www.seagulls.co.uk
so sad
to hear 7 have died is one thing, this was horrible news already yesterday

but as today has unfolded with related names pictures and stories
this gets sadder and sadder

my sympathies and thoughts to the families involved
and to all who knew one of more of the victims or injured

Planes starting to leave the airfield now, seems very eerie. Apart from the obvious tragedies, it's sad for the town and the organisers, such a big event for the area that so many people look forward to. I'm sure it will happen as usual next year, but obviously there will be a cloud hanging over it.

I think it may be moved to out at sea like the Eastbourne airshow in future

Far too many accidents at airshows now, no way should they ever be held anywhere near a town, major road or railway again

Been watching them and as you say it's very eerie.

Come on people, think before you type. After all the regretted postings on this thread, you'd think people would realize how sensitive even a misspelling of a victim's name could be. To get the name wrong completely because you haven't bothered to check it is just crass thoughtlessness.

Agreed. If nothing else the speed with which they all took off (and the variety) was almost as big an indication that something had gone awry as anything else. All very sad.

I don't think you can justify this statement.

I have been attending Airshows since the 1960's all over the UK and never even seen an incident.

In that time I have driven by many (what I later found to be) fatal road accidents.

I would have thought there is more chance of a lightning strike than to be killed at an Airshow.

Really isn't the time to post this nonsence
