Report on the BBC:
WWII plane crashes near airshow
A plane taking part in an airshow has crashed, according police.
A spokesman for Shoreham Airshow in West Sussex confirmed the aircraft
- which is thought to be a World War II plane - went down in
countryside.
He said the accident happened away from the airfield on Saturday
afternoon and no spectators were hurt.
It is not clear how many people were on board the plane but the
spokesman described the accident, which happened one mile from the
airfield, as serious.
A thread on PPRuNe says it's a Hurricane.
