Final Farewell
The 2015 Eastbourne Airshow delivered one of the most memorable Vulcan flypasts ever recorded. Against the 500 foot white cliffs of Beachy Head, Avro Vulcan XH558 made a low, powerful pass with pilot Kev Rumens bringing the aircraft in close to spectators gathered along the clifftops.
For many, it was a rare moment where people stood above the aircraft, looking down as it thundered past the lighthouse and out toward Eastbourne Beach. Nothing tops a fly-by like that – specially with such a gorgeous warbird like the Vulcan!
With the aircraft retiring later that year, the flypast became a final farewell. Just a plane, some said, but a remarkable one!
