The airshow began in 1989.[1] It had flying and static displays by a variety of aircraft such as fast jets, military helicopters, aerobatic aircraft and historic aircraft. There were ground displays by organisations such as local flying clubs and the armed forces, and of classic cars and vehicles. The show raised more than £2 million for the RAFA over 25 years.[2]
Following the 2015 Shoreham Airshow crash, it was announced in January 2016 that the 2016 event was cancelled,[3] and it has not been held since.[4]
