POLICE said yesterday that the final death toll from the Shoreham air show disaster was “increasingly likely” to be 11.
The removal of the 1950s Hawker Hunter fighter jet from the site in West Sussex where it crashed in a fireball uncovered no further victims.
Four men have been named as among those killed and two more have been identified as missing following Saturday afternoon’s disaster at the Shoreham air show.
Sussex Police Assistant Chief Constable Steve Barry said it was now increasingly likely that the final fatality figure would be set at 11. He had suggested on Monday that the death toll could rise as high as 20.
West Sussex coroner Penny Schofield has warned that identifying the victims will be a “slow and painstaking operation.”
Mr Barry said: “The latest is that the aircraft has now been removed from the crash site and I’m relieved to say that no further victims were found as a result of our examination of that particular part of the scene.”
