Where to see the Red Arrows this weekend - routes and timings for RAF display team

The Red Arrows are set to perform at multiple locations this weekend as their summer season gets underway. It is hoped that the iconic RAF display team will still be able to go ahead with displays, after the Met Office forecasted one month’s worth of rainfall this weekend.

Last weekend the Red Arrows had to pull out of a couple of performances at both the Royal International Air Tattoo and the Goodwood Festival of Speed after strong winds and rain battered most of the country.

Each year millions of people come out to see the crowd-pleasers make their appearance at air shows and displays up and down the country. The RAF display team have over 60 performances, both at home and overseas, scheduled during their summer season, including the Blackpool Airshow and previously a display at the British Grand Prix.

Squadron Leader Tom Bould, who also pilots Red 1, said the team was excited to support dozens of events for the team’s 59th season. Speaking on the RAF news page, he said: “Irrespective of the location, these events bring together individuals of all ages and backgrounds and are among the most important and valuable dates in a community’s calendar.

“For families, an airshow is an experience shared by generations, with each remembering when they first attended an event and the wonder, sights and sounds of flying.The events often provide many young people with their first taste of aviation – and a chance to start thinking about a future career. Our team members are testimony to where those early dreams can lead.

“While some may be enthused to become a pilot, others will be passionate about engineering or one of the countless support roles that power aviation globally.”
