Shoreham Airshow took place annually, in the late summer, at Brighton City Airport (commonly known as Shoreham Airport), on the south coast of England. It was organised by, and held in aid of the Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA).


The airshow had flying and static displays by a variety of aircraft such as fast jets, military helicopters, aerobatic aircraft and historic aircraft. There were ground displays by organisations such as local flying clubs and the armed forces, and of classic cars and vehicles. The show raised more than £1.5 million for the Royal Air Forces Association over 21 years.[1]


Following the 2015 Shoreham Airshow crash, it was announced in January 2016 that the 2016 event was cancelled,[2] and it has not been held since.[3]



Incidents




  • 15 September 2007 (2007-09-15): a Second World War vintage Hawker Hurricane fighter aircraft involved in the RAFA Air Display crashed near Lancing College. The pilot, Brian Brown, was killed in the crash, the first fatality in the history of the airshow.[4] The next year's show featured a special tribute to Brown.


  • 22 August 2010 (2010-08-22): a Swift S-1 aerobatic glider stalled during its final low-level turn to land and crashed onto the runway. The pilot suffered three broken vertebrae.[5]


  • 22 August 2015 (2015-08-22): a Hawker Hunter aircraft crashed outside the aerodrome boundary while displaying in the 2015 air show. Eleven people were killed.[6]

Dulmage-Mendelsohn matrix decomposition in Python

Image
0 Matlab has a function called dmperm that computes the so-called Dulmage–Mendelsohn decomposition of a n x n matrix. From wikipedia, the Dulmage–Mendelsohn is a partition of the vertices of a bipartite graph into subsets, with the property that two adjacent vertices belong to the same subset if and only if they are paired with each other in a perfect matching of the graph. Looking both on scipy and numpy, I could not find this function, nor some similar version. Is it possible to implement it using basic linear algebra operations? Any idea if this is implemented in some Python package? python matlab linear-algebra graph-theory matrix-decomposition share | improve this question
