I've no problem with historic aircraft remaining flying. They're maintained to the same standards as commercial aircraft, but fly less hours so they're technically a higher level of maintenance. Generally also have highly experienced pilots at the stick too.

I watched the video of the Shoreham Airshow on PlanesTV.com They stopped broadcasting very shortly after the crash, so it's right at the end of the video. It looks like he was pulling out of a loop and either lost power or was just too low to start with.

:(

this.

hope there are no fatalities..
 
The footage is horrific and I'll be amazed if there aren't a dozen or more fatalities :(

Edit: Reports are saying it crashed on to 4 cars but there are already videos showing the fireball engulfing the road and far more cars :(
