Saturday, August 22 Thousands gather at the Shoreham Airshow to mark the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. At 1.20pm the scene turns to horror as a 1950's Hawker Hunter plane crashes into a busy A27 bypass, hitting at least four cars - including a wedding limousine

Loss of control The pilot, 51-year-old former RAF officer Andy Hill, carries out a loop manoeuvre high in the air before smashing into the road in a huge fireball after failing to pull up in time

Pilot wrestles with the controls Moments before the point of impact the pilot appears to be trying to pull up from the A27 as it plummets towards the dual carriageway, where dozens of onlookers can be seen watching the display

Plane strikes the A27 The aicraft ploughs across the busy road just yards from cars and a group of people, its cockpit canopy open and wing ablaze, engulfing traffic lights, roadwork cones and signs in a huge ball of fire. Burning debris is also visible high in the air

Cloud of death Dazed witnesses survey the scene on the A27 as smoke billows into the sky from several vehicles and people appear to try to help victims.

Trail of destruction Seven people are confirmed dead with the toll expected to rise and a further two are taken to hospital, one with life threatening injuries. 14 people are treated at the scene
