[Politics] Shoreham Pilot - Flying Licence Appeal Rejected 17/10/2024
- Thread starter Tooting Gull
- Start date
Ahem ....... Le Mans, 1955.I’m thinking as an example an F1 driver through a risky overtake ended up in the stands killing 11 spectators, i can’t see any of them wanting to drive again
85 dead and they didn't even stop the race.

Wolfgang Von Trips, Monza 1961. Him & 15 spectators died, race carried on. Very rare to stop a race in F!.
It would have been a travesty if Hill had got his licences back. Good decision made.

Almost the same distance in time between now and Senna's sad accident and the accident and now. Incredible.

When you say 'drive' do you mean 'race'? I wouldn't expect them to never drive again. To be honest, I wouldn't mind if they wanted to race again. Racing is completely different to an aerobatics display. It's completely acceptable for racing drivers to try risky overtakes - motor racing is risky. Crashing is commonplace and the idea is that the crowds are at a safe distance. Whereas with an aerobatic display the limits shouldn't be pushed, and certainly not over a public area. The pilot was wrong to perform that stunt in that location at that altitude.

Great news. Absolute arsehole of a man.
I hope this brings some relief to the families affected.

Well, the distance between Senna's accident and now would be the same as between now and Senna's accent, wouldn't it. The distance between now and Le Mans is a lot longer.

Reading The Argus and the term UK props up on occasions, so could he apply for a licence in France, Republic of Ireland even somewhere like the Isle of Man, you get my drift.

But then restarted after. That weekend saw 2 deaths, 8 spectators injured & 1 policeman from debris from Lehto's (sp) crash at the start of the race and another 4 mechanics after the restart. Anyway I'm going to cheer my self up with some football & hope that Hill can't fly anything, anywhere, ever again.

He's now trying to take it to the High Court.

Families of those who were killed in the crash say Andy Hill's appeal feels like a "vendetta".

Why is this **** getting so many chances?
He missed the 17th January deadline. End of story. Why is it even being heard?
He should be in prison.

It's incredible he didn't die that day his actions killed 11 others. Any other person you would think 'how can they live with that'. But not him. He is totally shameless and arrogant, not even sorry for what he did!

what has being Ex RAF got to do with him being an arrogant wonky ****? (I cant speak for BA workers) As ex RAF and not an arrogant wonky **** I think thats a bit OTT
BA pilots of his era were notorious
