The crane took away parts of the Hawker Hunter jet. Police have said the death toll is likely to rise after all the wreckage is removed.

The crash created a huge fireball. Ailish Southall, who was driving along the road with her children, said: "There were huge amounts of fire and we ran from the car to avoid the debris."
