A pilot has denied the manslaughter of 11 men who died when his plane crashed during the Shoreham Air Show.

Andy Hill, 54, of Sandon in Hertfordshire, survived after his Hawker Hunter came down on the A27 in West Sussex in August 2015.

Mr Hill appeared at The Old Bailey charged with 11 counts of manslaughter by gross negligence and one count of endangering an aircraft.

He pleaded not guilty to all charges.

A trial date has been set for 14 January and is expected to last at least five weeks.
