for possible manslaughter. Our Special Correspondent | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Colin Campbell has this report. It is a report into | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
the deadliest civilian Families of the 11 who lost | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
their lives hope it will make safety recommendations to prevent | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
further tragedy This is an important step | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
in achieving closure They have waited 18 months now | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
to get to the heart of what exactly happened on that fateful | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
day in August. The crash happened on | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
the first day of the popular The 1950s Hawker Hunter was | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
the first flight of the afternoon's It started with | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
a low pass along the runway, Behind the cordoned off official | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
viewing areas lies by A27, a busy main road where the number | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
of enthusiasts had pulled over Nearing the airport and directly | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
above the A27, the jet pulled up to perform a loop the loop, | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
but it went horribly wrong. The plane failing to pull out | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
of the manoeuvre and plummeting The pilot Andy Hill | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
was thrown free and survived. If he is at fault | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
in any way whatsoever, if you made an error of judgment, | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
showing off, anything, then I wanted to be | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
a strong case brought against him. Igniting a huge fireball, | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
the plane broke into four parts, People in the town | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
are anxious to know Not out of idle curiosity, | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
because it is part of our life. Victims' families are today | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
being given an advance briefing from the Air Accident | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
Investigation Bureau, the full report will be | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
published tomorrow at noon. Well, let's cross live to Shoreham | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
and our reporter Charlie Rose - This report has been 18 months in | :03:03. | :03:19. | |
the making and the Air Accidents Investigation Branch has been very | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
clear. They say this isn't a finger-pointing exercise, instead | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
what the report aims to do is to find out what caused the crash and | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
make safety recommendations for the future. Looking behind me, you can | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
get an idea of what this means to the families of the victims and the | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
community in a sure hand. To doubt they have had a full meeting with | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
the investigation Branch and we expect the full report to be | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
published tomorrow. -- in sure. BBC Sussex | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
will be looking ahead to the report publication tomorrow morning - | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
and we'll have a special programme We'll also have reaction | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
and analysis on our Facebook page, on Twitter and our live news page | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
at bbc.co.uk/Sussex. The future of the Kent Sussex | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
and Surrey Air Ambulance is up in the air according | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
to its chief executive. He says it could be forced out | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
of its base at Redhill Aerodrome when the site is redeveloped | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
to build 4,500 new homes. The service currently | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
flies two helicopters - which can travel at speeds of up | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
to 150 miles an hour. That means they can reach | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
any part of Kent, Surrey or Sussex Last year the service cost just | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
over nine million pounds to run - the vast majority of that | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
comes from charitable donations. Our Health Correspondent Mark Norman | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
has this exclusive report This is the positive future | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
of the Air Ambulance Service A brand-new bigger, faster | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
helicopter that will save lives once it comes into service | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
in a few weeks' time. The Air Ambulance Service | :04:50. | :05:06. | |
has had plans to convert this hangar in Redhill | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
into its main operating base. But what about those plans | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
to build homes here? over our future, | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
is not a nice place to be. Somebody's got to look | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
at the strategic picture and say, are we going to deprive the region | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
of a very, very much-needed asset? If planners remove that capability | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
from us, people well so far. Adrian Bell has been speaking | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
to local councillors and developers, they are very aware of the possible | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
consequences of any decision. It is a huge local decision-making | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
process, but the air ambulance Does that impact | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
on your thought process? It will do, because it is a material | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
consideration the planners What we are looking | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
for is an improved mix of housing, because house prices | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
are 14 times average earnings. Last year, this person's life | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
was saved by the Ambulance Service. Here's an example of why | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
they have invested 7 million euros in this new helicopter, | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
and they want more of them to improve the capability | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
and availability of their service. And they want a main | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
operating base to do that. Our reporter Lauren Moss | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
has been following this story. Lauren, does all of this | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
mean that realistically Complete closure is unlikely, the | :06:31. | :06:42. | |
air ambulance has its base and there are flights out of Rochester and | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
24 hours a day. Not all air 24 hours a day. Not all air | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
ambulances do that. They want to make the service available but they | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
need a main operating base to do that. Ideally, they would like to | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
Redhill but if it can't continue there because of the housing | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
development, they say they aren't sure what they will do. | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
A parliamentary aide to the Conservative MP | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
for South Thanet has been charged with two counts of rape. | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
Samuel Armstrong, who was chief of staff to Craig Mackinley, has | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
been suspended since being arrested and bailed in October | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
following an alleged incident in Westminster. | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
A study commissioned by the Government has said | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
there is only a "poor" case for a second Brighton Mainline | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
to London to be built via Lewes and Uckfield. | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
The report found the best solution to rising demand on the route | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
between London and Sussex would be to improve | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
of their car on the M2 in Kent, crashing over a roundabout | :07:35. | :07:56. | |
The incident - which happened near the Bluewater shopping centre, | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
has now been viewed almost a million times online - | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
Its journey is being captured by a camera on another car. | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
It comes off the road to in the direction of Bluewater | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
The car goes into a roundabout and into trees. | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
Oh my God! Did you see that? | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
It's a classic example of someone getting it completely wrong. | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
They've come off the slip route at the wrong speed, | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
and they've ended up in very lucky to be able to walk away | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
from an accident at that sort of speed, | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
We showed the footage to people in nearby Blean. | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
The state of driving today is just awful. | :08:35. | :08:47. | |
When you drive around the M25, you see so much of it. | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
You wouldn't believe some of the things that happen. | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
It's unclear when the crash here actually took place | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
but the footage of it was posted online on Tuesday. | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
I understand, though, that Kent Police were aware of it | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
before that when they were contacted by the producers of a | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
It's not thought the driver was seriously hurt. | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
Simon Jones, BBC South East Today, Blean. | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
And we're all feeling rather proud here at BBC South East Today - | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
because we've been given this rather special award from the National | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
We've been named the best Nations and Regions | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
and it's the second time we've won the award in three years. | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
But the weather's not winning many awards this week - | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
It was a pleasant day today. We had some spring sunshine around. Don't | :09:38. | :09:51. | |
get too used to it. Over the next few days, things are unsettled. | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
Temperatures overnight dipping quite suddenly. Tomorrow, the cloud rolls | :09:56. | :10:05. | |
in and temperatures around 5-7 first thing tomorrow. A wet and windy | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
start to the day. Most of the rain should clear through by lunchtime | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
moving to the north and we are left with dry weather for the afternoon. | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
Not a bad afternoon but feeling quite windy. Through into the | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
weekend, further showers first thing on Saturday and a bit of uncertainty | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
about how Saturday morning will pan out. Showers could stay out towards | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
the yeast with fewer spells of rain to the West. For most, and improving | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
picture as the rain clears away throughout the afternoon. Saturday, | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
the better day of the weekend. By Sunday, some heavy outbreaks of rain | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
at times. Persistent rain by Sunday, eight or 9 degrees. I'll leave you | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
with an weekend, we have more rain in the | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
forecast. Rain at times this weekend, not all the | :11:05. | :11:06. |
