RELATIVES of victims of the Shoreham air disaster were “disappointed” yesterday to hear that two police officers face investigation for videoing themselves near the crash site.

The footage, along with an accompanying “offensive” message, was sent via social media to a colleague who reported the pair to the Sussex Police professional standards department.

The constables have not been suspended but assigned to duties away from the public.

The families of the 11 people who died when a vintage Hawker Hunter jet crashed on to the A27 during the Shoreham Airshow on August 22 have been informed.

Sussex Police Deputy Chief Constable Olivia Pinkney said the force had apologised to the relatives, admitting that they had been caused “unnecessary distress.”
