Shoreham Airshow Pilot's Licence Revoked After Fatal Crash

Andrew Hill loses appeal against the Civil Aviation Authority's decision following the 2015 disaster that claimed 11 lives.

  • Andrew Hill's flying licence has been formally revoked by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) after a failed appeal.
  • The revocation follows the 2015 Shoreham Airshow crash, where 11 men were killed when Hill's plane crashed during a maneuver.
  • Hill was previously found not guilty of manslaughter charges in 2019, but an inquest in 2022 ruled the deaths as unlawful killings due to his errors.
  • Families of the victims expressed relief at the decision, emphasizing the need for respect and safety.
  • Hill's licences were suspended immediately after the crash, and he has been unable to fly in the UK since.
