July 5th 2025.
This weekend, aviation enthusiasts and spectators alike are in for a treat as the Red Arrows take to the skies for several displays. The famous aerobatic team will be performing at the Swansea Air Show and the opening of the Formula 1 Grand Prix at Silverstone.
If you're lucky enough to be near the planned flight routes, you may catch a glimpse of the iconic 660 mph Hawk T1 fast-jets as they break the speed of sound while diving. At exactly 4.42pm today, the Red Arrows will take off from Exeter, followed by a flight over Devon and the Bristol Channel en route to Swansea. At 5pm, they will put on two spectacular aerobatic displays at the Air Show.

On Sunday, the Red Arrows will repeat the same circuit from Exeter to Swansea for the Wales Air Show, starting at 11.42am. But the excitement doesn't end there. The team will then make their way to Silverstone for the Formula 1 Grand Prix, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year.
As they fly towards the famous racing track, the Red Arrows will pass over several towns including Cirencester, Calne, Tackley, and Ardley. After a flypast at 2.46pm, the jets will continue over Melton Mowbray, Allington, and Welton before landing at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire at 3pm.
For those who are unable to witness the Red Arrows in person, Channel 4 will be broadcasting the flypast. And in other exciting news, the next generation of Red Arrows aircraft may be built in Scotland. Aeralis, the only UK manufacturer of light aircraft suitable for the RAF aerobatic team, has chosen Prestwick Airport in Central Ayrshire as its preferred site.
These displays are a must-see for aviation enthusiasts and a fantastic opportunity to witness the current Red Arrows fleet in action before they are retired in 2030. So mark your calendars and make sure to catch the Red Arrows as they soar through the skies this weekend.
