Significant restrictions on vintage jets in air shows have been imposed after the Shoreham crash, the UK's aviation regulator has announced.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said they would be "limited to flypasts" and "high-energy aerobatics" would not be permitted in displays over land.

At least 11 people died after a Hawker Hunter jet crashed on to the A27 in West Sussex on Saturday.

The death toll is expected to rise as parts of the plane are removed.

A spokesman for the CAA also said that all Hawker Hunter aircraft were grounded until further notice.

The regulator added that it would be conducting "additional risk assessments on all forthcoming civil air displays".
