The Red Arrows have a packed weekend with various displays happening across the UK including the Clacton Air Show

The Red Arrows are lining up to perform multiple displays this weekend as the summer season is well underway for the team. The RAF display team saw multiple displays cancelled last weekend after engineering issues within the Hawk aircraft.

The Red Arrows were forced to pull out of the Cromer Festival Display last Wednesday (August 16) and the Eastbourne Air Show the following day to ensure the safety of everybody involved. The RAF display team are now over halfway through their display season performances, with just a month left before the year ends and the team go back into training.

The much-loved jets have had a packed year of displays, including performances at the British Grand Prix, the Isle of Man TT and the Blackpool Airshow. Each year millions of people from across the world come out to see the crowd-pleasers as they make their appearance at air shows and displays up and down the country.

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.”

Here is everywhere you can see the Red Arrows this weekend.
