Shoreham: Two Years On.

On 22nd August 2015 the crash of Hawker Hunter T7 G-BXFI (WV372) brought an end to that year's Shoreham Air Show down in East Sussex.

 

It was the deadliest UK air show accident since the 1952 Farnborough Air Show calamity in which de Havilland Test Pilot John Derry was killed. With 11 killed and 16 injured the event has never recovered and the accident itself has changed air show flying forever.

 

What I was hoping for this year was to be able to commemorate this event somehow on FS2004 but worst luck my hands are playing up again. I have not been in the air on FS2004 recently or at least since my last London - Edinburgh BA Boeing 767-336ER flight because it is feared that I now have osteoarthritis.

 

So I have hurriedly reassembled last year's tribute on my PC desk top involving the nine Red Arrows BAe Hawk T1s and the Eurofighter Typhoon to feel that at least I have done something to mark this event this year.

 

I am still taking prednisolone for the problem in my hands / wrists and promise to be back with something better soon. In the meantime I hope you are all well.
