An iconic aircraft is making its first appearance on the South East coast this weekend.

The Vulcan XH558, the world’s last flying Vulcan, will be flying past Hastings and Rye on Saturday.

Onlookers will be able to watch the Vulcan as it climbs almost vertically into the sky.

Dr Robert Pleming, Vulcan to the Sky Trust (VTST) chief executive, said: “I am absolutely delighted at all of the hard work undertaken by the VTST team.

“It is particularly gratifying that the aircraft is making her first appearance at two brand new venues for us on the beautiful Sussex coast.”
