Yet another light plane crashes in Sussex and still the Shoreham air show goes on, year after year. Fair enough - I know it's only for two days but could there not be a static display instead?

Why should the residents of Shoreham and Lancing have to cower in fear as the planes zoom over their rooftops, both at rehearsals and on the actual days?

I would willingly contribute to the RAFA if all the events took place on the ground but not a penny does it get from me at present.

I'm absolutely dreading the event and so too are the majority of the other residents of these retirement apartments, some of them being in their 90s.
