"Mike Newman survives after airshow crash
Shoreham Airshow is one of the UK\'s finest airshows with a fantastic air display and exciting attractions. On August 23rd 2010, the 21st Royal Air Forces Association airshow which took place at Shoreham, West Sussex attracted the attention of nearly 15,000 fans. During the airshow, Mike Newman’s crash was probably considered to be one of the best recorded glider accidents in the history. The 35-year-old pilot luckily managed to escape from the wreckage of the high performance Swift S-1 aircraft after it slammed into a runway. He crashed while performing for the Swift Aerobatic Display Team.
Amateur photographer Rob Yuill, age 62 from Hornchurch, was able to record the whole incident in his camera. He said: “He had a very lucky escape indeed. The glider was supposed to perform an aerobatic display with two powered aircraft - but it was a very overcast day with low cloud. Therefore, the gilder only performed for a couple of minutes before being released from its tow line”. The photographer added: “Then it flew downwind and turned to make its final approach to land. He had lost air speed and headed straight into the ground. The nose section just crumpled. It was an awful thing to see.”
