The families of the men killed in the Shoreham Airshow disaster have said they have been "let down by the justice system" after the pilot was cleared of manslaughter.

Andrew Hill, 54, was accused of killing 11 people when his Hawker Hunter jet ploughed into the A27 in West Sussex.

The pilot had been attempting to perform a loop when disaster struck during his display at the Shoreham Airshow on August 22, 2015.

The prosecution had claimed that Mr Hill had a "cavalier attitude" to safety and had previously taken unnecessary risks during airshows.

But his defence team claimed he had been affected by the G Forces which had caused a subtle "cognitive impairment" related to hypoxia and the jury returned unanimous not guilty verdicts.

Leslye Polito, who lost her son Daniele in the crash, said: "I feel extremely disappointed, very upset and primarily let down by the justice system when someone who has clearly made some very bad errors of judgment is allowed to walk free."

The 23-year-old builder - the disaster's youngest victim - left behind two young children, one of whom he never had chance to meet.

Sue and Phil Grimstone, whose son Matthew died in the crash, said they were "devastated the jury have reached this verdict".
