First visit of 'Tornado' to Sussex?

[Crawley Ben]

Steam dreams are advertising a trip from Lewes (East Sussex) to Oxford on
05th July 2012. Loco booked to perform the honours is 60163 'Tornado'. Am I right in thinking this is the first time Tornado will have visited Sussex?

It was scheduled to visit the Bluebell Railway, I think, wasn't it, but that was cancelled owing to Problems?

I believe that visit was indeed cancelled due to the boiler problems with the loco at the time. I think I will indeed book up on this tour.

No it did a Romney Marsh circular via Rye (Sussex) and Hastings in 2010 (July?)
