Hill, 60, is appealing a decision to revoke his flying licence.

But Caroline, 64, and Bob, 70, whose Jacob Schilt, 23, was killed while on his way to play football for Worthing United, said: “It’s outrageous.”

His heartbroken mother told The Mirror: “He shouldn’t be given another chance to fly that badly again.

“I wonder if his intention is to be re-employed by an airline again, which would be unthinkable.

“I would also be very concerned if he was able to do display flying again.”

Her words were echoed by Julie Smith, who lost her son Richard, 26, in the tragedy.

She said: “The main thing for Mr Hill is he has never shown any remorse.”

Hill attempted a loop manoeuvre 200ft above the Shoreham air show.

Experts said he should have been flying at 500ft or above.

His vintage jet broke into four parts as it crashed on the A27 destroying eight vehicles on the dual carriageway.

A wedding limo driver was among those to die while 16 people were injured.

Hill, a former RAF instructor, was badly hurt as he was thrown clear.

He was cleared of manslaughter after a trial in 2019.

An inquest determined the victims had been unlawfully killed.

A Civil Aviation Authority panel this month heard Hill was “grossly incompetent and negligent” and had shown no remorse over the tragedy.

The CAA’s David McCorquodale, who made the decision, told the hearing: “(His flying) was so appallingly bad, it was incompetence, ignorance.

“I was no longer satisfied he was a fit and proper person to hold those licences.”
