Red Arrows to fly at English Riviera and Midlands festivals

The Royal Air Force's Red Arrows aerobatic display team is performing at multiple events this weekend, marking a busy start to their summer season. The team will conduct displays at the English Riviera Airshow in Torbay and the Midlands Air Festival in Warwickshire on Saturday, May 30, with a second performance scheduled for the Midlands festival on Sunday, May 31.

On Saturday, the team's schedule involves a midday display over Torbay, departing from and returning to Exeter Airport. Later that day, the jets will conduct a flypast over Upper Wardington in Oxfordshire en route to East Midlands Airport. Their main evening display is scheduled for 6:00 PM at the Midlands Air Festival, held at Ragley Hall in Alcester. The aircraft are slated to depart East Midlands Airport at 5:48 PM, flying over areas including Whitwick, Rugby, Lighthorne, and Redditch before the display, and returning via Evesham, Tredington, and Kineton, landing back at the airport at approximately 6:33 PM.

A second display is planned for Sunday, with the team departing East Midlands Airport at 6:18 PM for a 6:30 PM show at the same festival, before returning to their home base at RAF Waddington. Officials note...
