POLICE officers have quizzed the Shoreham Airshow crash pilot for a second time.

Andrew Hill was questioned at a police station in Sussex by officers on Thursday.

The 53-year-old, of Sandon in Hertfordshire, attended voluntarily and was re-interviewed under caution by officers in the county’s major crime team but has not been arrested.

The news comes two months after the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) found pilot error caused the crash on August 22, 2015, in which 11 men died.

Hill was pulled from the wreckage by firefighters and airlifted to hospital after the failed loop-the-loop which saw the Hawker Hunter crash on to the A27.

He was placed in a medically induced coma and left fighting for his life. He was later moved to a specialist hospital before being released in September that year.

Police first interviewed him three months later after he attended voluntarily.

In September the High Court refused to allow police officers access to statements made by Hill to AAIB crash investigators in the wake of the crash. But they were allowed to view video footage from the cockpit.

Sussex Police did not respond when asked the outcome of the latest interview or whether another was likely to take place.

The force has not said when it will discuss the progress it has made in the near two-year investigation since the tragedy.

A police spokesman said: “A 53-year-old man from Hertfordshire has been re-interviewed by officers from the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team investigating the Shoreham air crash. He attended a voluntary interview under caution at a police station in Sussex on Thursday, June 1.”

Another pre-inquest review into the deaths takes place on June 20, where the coroner is expected to set a date for the full hearing.

The AAIB’s final report published in March said Hill went into the stunt too low and slow to be able to complete it safely.

The minimum speed for that aircraft to enter the loop was 350 knots and at a height of 500ft. Instead, he was travelling at 310 knots at a height of only 185ft.

When he began the climb into the loop he did not achieve full thrust, needed to complete the manoeuvre, the report said.

AAIB principal inspector Julian Firth said at this point Hill had an opportunity to pull out of the manoeuvre but appeared not to have realised he was too low.

The report found his entry speed and altitude leading into the fatal stunt was what was required for a different, lighter, aircraft he had flown the previous week.

He had not received formal training to escape from the manoeuvre in a Hunter and had not had his competence to do so assessed, the report said.

Hill was interviewed several times by AAIB investigators but said he could not remember anything from the flight. The AAIB said it could not access medical records to determine the extent of memory loss but had inspected Hill’s helmet which showed marks which could be consistent with injuries causing this.
