Some of the recommendations have already been implemented, he said.

As well as taking on the recommendations from the AAIB, the CAA published their own review into airshow safety in April last year, the spokesperson said.

Eleven men lost their lives when a vintage Hawker Hunter jet crashed onto the A27 during a display at the airshow in Shoreham on Saturday, August 22, 2015.
