RAF aircraft often operate across Pevensey Base at low level; no reason they shouldn't 'cut the corner' and fly overland provided they maintain 500ft MSD (minimum separation distance)
RAF Beachy Head was a radar station as was RAF Wartling (just north of Pevensey). Wartling was active until the mid 60s I think and was a Type 80 air defence radar. There were several ALGs (advanced landing grounds) in operation in the area for short periods in 1944.
