Progress is being made in the police investigation into the Shoreham Airshow disaster.

The West Sussex Coroner revealed the latest information into the on-going investigation into the air crash which claimed the lives of 11 men in August 2015.

A Hawker Hunter jet, piloted by Andrew Hill, crashed into the A27 at the Sussex Pad traffic lights during a display at the Shoreham Airshow.

West Sussex Senior Coroner Penelope Schofield said: “In accordance with the direction given at the pre inquest review hearing on 20 June 2017, Sussex Police have provided me with an update on their ongoing investigation on 29 September 2017.

“Whilst progress is being made there is no further information to be given out at this time and a further update will be provided to me on 30 November 2017.

“The families of the deceased are being kept informed.”

The Coroner has indicated that the full inquest is still set to be heard in September 2018.

A third pre inquest review will take place on Wednesday January 24 at Crawley Coroner’s Court.

Ms Schofield said the inquest may have to be suspended if the CPS decides to bring criminal charges.

The 11 men who died were window cleaner Mark Trussler, 54, from Worthing, and cyclists and friends Dylan Archer, 42, from Brighton, and Richard Smith, 26, from Hove.

NHS manager Tony Brightwell, 53, from Hove, grandfather Mark Reeves, 53, from Seaford, and Worthing United footballers Matthew Grimstone and Jacob Schilt, both 23, also died.

Other victims include personal trainer Matt Jones, 24, wedding chauffeur Maurice Abrahams, 76, Daniele Polito, 23, from Worthing and Graham Mallinson, 72, of Newick.
