I lived in Hastings from c1952-1957. There was a bomb site not far from where I lived, which was said to have been caused by a V2. A damn big hole, anyway.

The Hastings Observer is the modern version of what was formerly "The Hastings & St.Leonards Observer". See if you can get into their archives and what WW2 material they've got.
