Shoreham air crash pilot still under investigation one year on from crash that killed eleven
Andy Hill is waiting to find out if he will face manslaughter charges
SHOREHAM air crash pilot Andy Hill strolls with his dog a year on from the tragedy which killed 11.
He looked gaunt and dishevelled as he waits to find if he will face manslaughter charges.
Mr Hill, who spent nearly a month in hospital, has no visible injuries from the disaster at the airshow.
Giovanna Chirico, who lost partner Mark Trussler, 54, in the tragedy, said: “It makes me quite angry that he is strolling about.
“I’ve been really emotional this week and this has upset me even more.”
Mr Hill, 52, was flying a vintage Hunter Hawker jet when it lost control and smashed into the busy A27 causing a fireball near Shoreham, West Sussex.
