The Red Arrows are scheduled to fly over several UK towns this week on their way to a display in Eastbourne.

As one of the world’s premier aerobatic display teams, the Red Arrows consistently impress with manoeuvres like the 'Big Vixen Roll' and 'Hammer Head Break.'

On their way to the Eastbourne display on Thursday, August 15, the Red Arrows will pass over various commuter towns, including Haywards Heath in West Sussex at 2.26 PM, Monks Risborough in Buckinghamshire around 12.07 PM, and Cholsey in South Oxfordshire between 12.11 PM and 12.14 PM.

For those willing to travel a bit further, National Trust's Wiltley and Milford Commons in Surrey offer an excellent vantage point, with the Arrows expected to cross the area between 3.13 PM and 3.16 PM on Thursday.

Alternatively, you can catch a view from the picturesque market town of Petworth in West Sussex, where the Red Arrows will be flying overhead between 2.21 PM and 2.26 PM this Thursday.

The Red Arrows are the Royal Air Force's (RAF) aerobatic display team, renowned worldwide for their dynamic flying performances and precision formations. Established in 1964, the team showcases the professionalism, excellence, and capabilities of the RAF and the UK's aviation industry.

The squadron typically consists of nine display pilots, all of whom are experienced RAF fast-jet pilots, supported by a dedicated team of engineers and support staff known as the "Blues."
