A date has now been confirmed for the full inquest of the Shoreham Airshow crash victims by West Sussex Coroner Penelope Schofield.

The full inquest will run over three weeks during November and December 2022 and is planned to start on Wednesday 30 November and finish on Monday 19 December.

The cause of the disaster will not be reinvestigated.

Additional days may be added at a later date if the inquest overruns. 

The dates were announced at yesterday’s pre-inquest review (Thursday 1 September) held at County Hall North (Parkside), Horsham, which is also the location where the inquest will take place.
