Eyewitnesses said the plane was performing a loop but did not complete the manoeuvre and crashed.

Stephen Jones, who saw the crash, said: "The aeroplane involved is a Hawker Hunter T mark 7. And he`d just begun his flying display.

"He`d gone up into a loop and as he was coming out of the loop I just thought, you`re too low, you`re too low, pull up.

"And he flew straight into the ground either on or very close to the A27, which runs past the airport."
