[News] Red Arrows at Hastings today

[Cadiz Seagull]

Just in case you hadn't realised, a display at 18:00

And the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight - Wellington, Spitfire and Hurricane - flew along the seafront west to east earlier today. They will be flying back tomorrow in the opposite direction at 12:30.

See you on Hastings pier

Is that for the Hastings Air show?

Enjoy the day, probably one of the greatest sights and sounds to experience first hand.

No idea. Maybe they are lost?

Fantastic sound and visuals made the hair stand up on the back of my neck.
Thanks for posting the Video

The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight dont have a Wellington, They do however have a Lancaster and Dakota.,

They were in formation as they came over Eastbourne earlier too, a magnificent sight.

Amazing..My Mum remembers seeing dogfights at a very high altitude over Sussex in WW2. I saw a simulated dogfight over Arran about 5 years ago, where they tried to cut flags off the planes (flags suspended by string from the planes`).
Worryingly , I didn't know what plane was what...it was all speculation and guesswork.....

It must have been both exhilarating and worrying when you saw such action in the sky in WW2.

"Never was so much owed by so many to so few." I salute them all.

That stuff is hard to imagine isn't it. Amazing.

Oops

Sorry about that, yes of course it was a Lancaster. There are only two complete Wellingtons left, one in the Brooklands Museum (which was rescued from Loch Ness after ditching!) and one in the Royal Airforce Museum, but neither are operational.

The Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane will be flying over the coast at Hastings and Bexhill again at 12:30 today.

Shame they can't get a Wellington back into the air, as an aside I did my annual visit to Hawkinge Battle of Britain museum last month and they have acquired a rather second hand Bristol Blenheim which they are going to get back to 1940 condition if they can. Sadly it will never fly again.

They came in from the north over Hastings, did a couple of turns, then buggered back up north, apparently they flew over the De La Warr yesterday, that would've been a great sight.

That will explain why I didn't see them in Bexhill today, although I heard them.

Yesterday they flew right along the coast and would have flown past the De La Warr Pavillion and then carried on to Hastings and eventually Folkestone I believe.

Obviously today they were in a hurry to get home for Sunday lunch.
