DON'T LET HIM FY

Aviation chiefs are due to decide on Tuesday whether the ex-BA flyer should have his licence back.

Hill, 60, was performing a stunt in a vintage jet when it crashed on the A27 in West Sussex on August 22, 2015.

The inferno killed 11 men including Jacob Schilt, 23, who was on his way to play football for Worthing United, and injured 16 people.

imageJacob's parents Caroline, 64, and Bob, 70, and other relatives of the dead were at a two-day London hearing last week where Hill launched his appeal against the Civil Aviation Authority's decision to revoke his licence.

Caroline said of the case: "It's outrageous he shouldn't be given.

another chance to fly that badly again.

"I wonder if his intention is to be re-employed by an airline again, which would be unthinkable. I would also be very concerned if he was able to do display flying again." Hill, a former RAF Harrier pilot, was attempting a loop manoeuvre in a Hawker Hunter when he crashed.
