Organisers of an event which attracts hundreds of people from around the country may have to rethink plans after new aviation rules were imposed this afternoon.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has introduced "significant restrictions" on vintage jets appearing in air shows following a crash in Shoreham that killed at least 11 people.

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

Meanwhile, organisers of Herne Bay Air Show - which attracted crowds of 70,000 earlier this month - say the disaster has made them think twice about hosting another event in future.

Military Odyssey, which is set to take place at the Detling Showground this weekend, will have a flypast from a Piper Cub and Spitfire - both of which date back to the 1940s.

Organisers are now working to establish the effect the restrictions will have on the show, but have no doubts about whether the event will go ahead.

A spokesman said: "The majority of our attractions take place on the ground so we shouldn't have to make any significant changes to the event.

"We are checking with a contact at the Civil Aviation Authority to make sure the flypasts can still go ahead."

Flying displays over land by vintage aircraft will be significantly restricted until further notice.

A spokesman for the CAA said: "The performance of high energy aerobatics will not be permitted. We have commenced a full review into safety at public air displays."

The number of fatalities is expected to rise after police launched a massive operation to clear the wreckage of the jet, which stretches hundreds of yards around the A27.

Earlier today, KentOnline spoke to a Sittingbourne photographer who captured the moments the air disaster unfolded.

The CAA has launched a full investigation into the crash.
