A host of air shows will take place over the UK bank holiday weekend with alterations to their schedules following the Shoreham plane crash.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) banned vintage jets from carrying out “high-energy acrobatics” over land after a plane plummeted on to the A27.
The Clacton Airshow is among those going ahead after Saturday’s crash.
Formal identification of the victims has begun following the recovery of “almost all of the remains”.
Police believe it is likely 11 people were killed when a vintage jet plummeted to the ground, crashing into traffic, reports the BBC.
Four victims have been named by friends or family and the relatives of two other missing men have appealed for help.
West Sussex coroner Penny Schofield said: “Recovering all the remains has been a very slow and painstaking operation, but it has been necessary to ensure we establish, without doubt, individual positive identifications.”
She has met with the families to explain the process and, once identification is complete, inquests will be opened into the deaths.
During the air show, pilot Andy Hill failed to complete a loop manoeuvre immediately before the Hawker Hunter Jet crashed during a display.
On Wednesday, Brighton and Hove NHS Foundation Trust said he remained in a critical but stable condition.
The crash prompted new restrictions being put in place by the CAA regulator, which led to the CarFest South event in Hampshire cancelling its air display programme.
