The Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, are set to delight spectators in Cardiff. Instead of waiting for July's Swansea's Airshow, where the Arrows will put on their usual display, fans can head down to see them just outside the capital Wednesday (June 4) and Thursday (June 5).
The Red Arrows will be stationed at The Flying Club Rhoose, located at Cardiff Airport, from 10am on Wednesday, June 4 until 4pm on Thursday, June 5.
They will be stopping off at the flying club while returning from an air show in the west country.
Spectators will have the opportunity to see the Red Arrows parked up at the flying club, and they may even get a chance to see them practice in the sky above the capital.
The flying club will open its doors from 9am on Wednesday, offering a limited menu of bacon rolls, sausage rolls, fresh coffee and cold drinks.
On Thursday, the regular menu will be served until 2.30pm, with fresh rolls available until 4.30pm.

The next opportunity to see the Red Arrows will be at the Wales Airshow on Saturday, July 5, and Sunday, July 6.
At the airshow, spectators can enjoy two days of breathtaking aerial displays over Swansea Bay, with the Red Arrows set to perform on both days.
The annually free Wales National Airshow has been drawing crowds upwards of 200,000 with its blend of live music, food, drinks, and various ground activities.
Swansea's Councillor Robert Francis-Davies, the Cabinet Member for Investment, Regeneration, Events, and Tourism, shared his enthusiasm: "It's amazing to have the Red Arrows back again, and great to have them perform on both days at the 2025 Wales National Airshow.
"Their displays never fail to captivate the audience, and we know that visitors will be just as thrilled as ever.

"This event is a highlight of Swansea's summer calendar, and we're expecting another fantastic turnout this year."
The elite Red Arrows squad will also perform at several UK airshows this summer, which include not only the Welsh spectacle but also the English Riviera Airshow, Blackpool Airshow, and Eastbourne International Airshow.

Folly Farm's orphaned lamb and goat become inseparable
Ted, a seven-week-old Torwen lamb, and Gary, a three-month-old Golden Guernsey goat kid, have formed a special bond at Folly Farm. Gary is described as 'cheeky' and full of mischief, while Ted has 'everyone wrapped around his little hoof.' Both animals lost their mothers shortly after birth and have been hand-reared together by the farm team, who gave them round-the-clock care. Kim, farm manager, said: "We only hand rear animals when absolutely necessary, and it's taken a lot of dedication to ensure both Ted the Torwen and Gary the Golden Guernsey have the best start, but it's been totally worth it. "They've certainly stolen our hearts and are adored by our staff and guests – especially when we're able to take them out for our meet and greet sessions." Ted and Gary currently live together in the Jolly Barn at Folly Farm. The two young animals are not just adorable—they also represent important conservation work. Both Torwen sheep and Golden Guernsey goats are listed as 'at risk' by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. Folly Farm is the first Welsh farm park to achieve rare breeds status from the RBST, recognising its dedication to conserving rare livestock breeds. The farm features paddocks with rare breed farm animals from across the UK, with a focus on Welsh breeds like Ted. Visitors can now see Ted and Gary in the Jolly Barn, where they have become a popular attraction.

‘I was sharing room with 15 people, now I'm Jeremy Clarkson's neighbour!' Superfan wins £5m mansion for just £25
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A 'CLARKSON'S Farm' fan has scooped a £5million house - and it's right next door to Jeremy Clarkson. Anthony Martin bagged the keys to a stunning 17th century Cotswolds home - as well as £250,000 in cash. 16 Jeremy Clarkson has a new neighbour Credit: PA 16 Anthony Martin, 25, bagged the latest Omaze prize draw Credit: SWNS 16 A Clarkson's Farm fan has scooped a £5million Cotswold's house - and it's right next door to Jeremy Clarkson Credit: SWNS It came after the 25-year-old won the latest Omaze draw. The five-bedroom mansion, situated in sprawling countryside, boasts an outdoor heated pool. Anthony said: "I've been watching Clarkson's Farm and I can't believe he's going to be my neighbour now, it's just crazy. "At 25 I hadn't even considered owning so much as a garden shed yet, but now my first property is a £5 million house - it's so surreal." The jackpot winner, who lives in Cambridgeshire, bought his ticket for just £25. And, he only started entering the Omaze draws last month. Anthony has been working as a deckhand on yachts for the past year. He added: "I was backpacking in Spain when Omaze got in touch to tell me I'd won something. "I didn't have any credit on my phone, so I didn't see any of the missed calls or emails at first, but when I eventually topped up and saw all the messages, I started to think I might have won something pretty decent. "When Omaze actually called me to say I'd won the £5 million house in the Cotswolds, I was stunned. Musician wiped out on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire after using two lifelines on tough Spice Girls question - but would you know it? ''That's not a call you get everyday, I just couldn't believe it, I was in total shock. I had to call them back to make sure it was real. "One minute I'm staying in a hostel, in a 15-bed dorm, then the next thing I know I'm a multimillionaire-that was an unexpected upgrade for sure. "I had a couple of beers to celebrate, but nothing too wild as I had to be up early-not that it made much difference as I probably only slept for 20 mins, my mind was whirring trying to process what had just happened." The lavish property is even sweeter as it's mortgage free and has all legal fees covered. 16 Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm is just next door Credit: SWNS:South West News Service 16 The five-bed mansion boasts an outdoor heated pool Credit: SWNS 16 Anthony with his sister Misha at the stunning property Credit: SWNS 16 The pool area has it's own shower facilities and changing room Credit: SWNS 16 The bespoke kitchen comes fitted with state-of-the-art appliances Credit: SWNS 16 There's also a two-bed detached cottage on the grounds for guests Credit: SWNS Anthony has also been given an eye-watering £250,000 in cash, to help him decorate the home to his liking. Although it already offers a whopping £180,000 worth of furnishings. If the 25-year-old chooses to rent out the luxurious pad, estate agents recon he could rake in up to £18,000 per month. "This is my first time in the Cotswolds and I can see what all the fuss is about, it's beautiful around here," said Anthony. "The house is stunning, the walk-in fridge is bigger than my current kitchen… and that's just the fridge. "Everything has been done so nicely, I love it. I'm looking forward to diving into the pool and hosting all my friends and family in such an amazing house. "I've been working as a deckhand on yachts for the past year, so I'm more used to sleeping below deck in cramped bunk beds than places like this-I can stand up straight in this place for a start. "We'll be having a huge family Christmas here. There are around twenty of us and I'm normally the one who ends up sleeping on the floor, but now I'm guaranteed a bed as I'll be hosting everyone else for change. "I don't know what I'll do yet, I've got a lot to think about, but this win has changed my life forever-my future is sorted now, whatever I decide to do, it's an incredible feeling." The south-facing mansion comes with two reception rooms, exposed wooden beams and all the original fireplaces. A spacious bespoke kitchen and dining areas are already kitted out with state-of-the art appliances. The beautiful terrace leads on to a heated outdoor swimming pool, surrounded by stone decking. 16 The 25-year-old could rake in up to £18,000 per month if he chooses to rent the home Credit: SWNS 16 The mansion is flooded with natural light Credit: SWNS 16 There are two reception rooms Credit: SWNS 16 Exposed wooden beams add to the atmosphere of grandeur Credit: SWNS It also boasts its own changing room and shower facilities. And, if the main property wasn't enough, there's a two-bed detached cottage guest house too. The pristine landscaped gardens will also make for breathtaking views. As well as changing Anthony's life forever, this Omaze Million Pound House Draw raised £4.2 million for Guide Dogs. Over two million people in the UK are living with sight loss-a number projected to double by 2050. Andrew Lennox, CEO at Guide Dogs said: "We are truly overwhelmed that an incredible £4.2 million has been raised for Guide Dogs through the Omaze Million Pound House Draw. "Every day, 250 people in the UK begin to lose their sight-that's one person every six minutes. Without the right support, sight loss can be profoundly isolating. "Thanks to the generosity of the Omaze community, we can provide life-changing services that empower people with a vision impairment to live the life they choose. "The money raised will fund 1,350 puppies during their first eight weeks of life and cover the cost of expert care to their mums and dads. It will also fund a year's worth of food for all 3,200 working guide dogs. "With your support, Guide Dogs can continue opening up a world of opportunity for people with sight loss across the UK and each Omaze player of this draw who sees a guide dog at work in the next 10 years, will know that they had a hand in making that partnership a reality." James Oakes, President of Omaze, added: "Everyone at Omaze is over the moon that Anthony has won this spectacular house in the Cotswolds, whilst also contributing to our huge raise for Guide Dogs. "Omaze offers people the chance to win amazing houses, whilst also introducing charities to new audiences that they wouldn't normally reach-it's a real win-win for entrants and our charity partners. We're immensely proud that the Omaze Community has now raised over £93 million for good causes across the UK." Draw entries for the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Sussex, are available now at The Grand Prize Draw closes on Sunday June 29 2025 for online entries and Tuesday July 1 2025 for postal entries. 16 Anthony has also been given an eye-watering £250,000 in cash, to help him decorate the home to his liking Credit: SWNS 16 There's already £180,000 worth of furnishing Credit: SWNS

Today's rugby news as Welsh players fear for their jobs amid dispute and Wales play England
Today's rugby news as Welsh players fear for their jobs amid dispute and Wales play England The latest rugby news from Wales and around the world Scarlets and Ospreys players face an uncertain time amid the ongoing dispute with the WRU (Image: Huw Evans Picture Agency Ltd ) Here are your rugby morning headlines for Friday, June 6. Hook: Players are worried amid WRU uncertainty James Hook says Welsh rugby players are fearing for their jobs amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding the game in Wales. The Ospreys and Scarlets have refused to sign the new Professional Rugby Agreement, with the WRU activating its two-year notice period on the old PRA. Next season, Cardiff and the Dragons, who have signed the agreement, will receive more funding than the other two sides, while a future that still includes four professional sides in Wales looks bleak. The WRU have confirmed it will not return to the previous model of four equally funded sides, with various independent reports concluding Wales should cut a team. It's understood the Union is now seriously considering reducing to three, or even just two pro teams. And former Wales and Ospreys fly-half Hook, who is part of the coaching set-up at the region, has urged the Union to offer some clarity as soon as possible, not only to the players, but the fans who support both clubs. Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack to get exclusive news stories and insight from behind the scenes in Welsh rugby. "There needs to be a roadmap and some reassurance," Hook said on Scrum V. Article continues below "People go on about the fans are worried - the players are worried. Especially with the Scarlets and the Ospreys not signing (the PRA), they have got their own reasons, which is fair enough, but the players will rightly be worried for their jobs. "Because no one has come out and given a roadmap about how it's going to look." It's believed the WRU hope to have the future thrashed out within the next few months, but the prospect of legal action from the Scarlets and Ospreys is likely to complicate things. The Union has withdrawn the offer of the new PRA to the the two regions and it is unclear how any decision on the number of sides will play out. Wales play England today Wales Under 20s play England today in a match that will go a long way to deciding who makes the squad for the World Championship later this month. Wales' promising age-grade side will be looking to repeat the shock win over the English that proved to be Welsh rugby's result of the season during the Six Nations. Richard Whiffin's side won 23-13 at the Arms Park in March - a statement victory that destroyed their rivals' Grand Slam hopes. Today's match at Pontypool Park (KO 3pm) is the first of two warm-up matches before the Under-20s World Cup begins in Italy against Argentina on June 29. Number eight Evan Minto captains the side. "We've had guys in camp for three weeks working super hard and they deserve an opportunity," said coach Whiffin. "We said to the group at the start of the campaign we were going to use it as a selection game in terms of whittling the squad down from 45 down to 30 so there will be guys playing on Friday night putting their hands up for the plane ticket to Italy. "So pressure goes onto those guys but ultimately if they can perform on Friday in a big game against England then it sets them up well for the World Cup." Wales U20s: Lewis Edwards (Ospreys); Ioan Duggan (Dragons), Elijah Evans (Cardiff), Elis Price (Scarlets), Aidan Boshoff (Bristol Bears); Harri Ford (Dragons), Sion Davies (Cardiff); Cam Tyler-Grocott (Cardiff), Saul Hurley (Aberavon), Owain James (Dragons), Dan Gemine (Ospreys), Kenzie Jenkins (Bristol Bears), Ryan Jones (Dragons), Caio James (Gloucester), Evan Minto (Captain - Dragons). Replacements: Evan Wood (Pontypool), Louie Trevett (Bristol Bears), Jac Pritchard (Scarlets), Tom Cottle (Cardiff), Luke Evans (Exeter Chiefs), Deian Gwynne (Gloucester), Harry Beddall (Dragons), Logan Franklin (Dragons), Lloyd Lucas (Cardiff), Dylan Scott (Cardiff Met), Steffan Emanuel (Cardiff), Osian Darwin-Lewis (Cardiff), Jack Woods (Bath), Dylan Alford (Scarlets). Halfpenny thanks 'special club' Harlequins Leigh Halfpenny has penned a heartfelt thank-you letter to Harlequins after his season-long stint at The Stoop came to an end. The 36-year-old is still hoping to continue playing, however yesterday he was announced as part of Matt Sherratt's coaching staff for the summer tour of Japan. While the role is only a temporary one, it is likely that his future will travel down that route once he hangs up his boots for good. For now, though, it's on to pastures new, with the full-back linked with a move to French outfit Beziers. But the Wales and Lions legend signed off from his Quins stint in typically classy fashion. "Thank you Harlequins for an unforgettable season," he wrote on Instagram. "Have loved every minute of my time at the club and will treasure the memories and relationships we've made both on and off the field with this special group. "A big thank you to the players, coaches, staff and especially the fans for making me and my family feel so welcome. "I'm grateful to have worn the Quarters and proud to have represented such a special club." Glasgow confident Leinster can be beaten By Anthony Brown, PA Assistant coach Nigel Carolan stressed that defending champions Glasgow are not heading to Dublin as URC semi-final no-hopers this weekend as he pointed out that hosts Leinster are not infallible. Warriors were thrashed 52-0 by the Irish side in the Champions Cup quarter-final in April and then lost 13-5 when they faced them in the last match of the regular league campaign three weeks ago. However, Carolan is taking heart from the fact Leinster lost a semi-final at Aviva Stadium just a month ago when they were eliminated from the Champions Cup by Northampton. "They're not superhuman," said the coach. "They're humans after all. They're only players. They're not a team that are going to get it right all the time. Anything can happen in a knockout game." Asked if Glasgow would have any scar tissue from their heavy defeat against Leinster two months ago, Carolan said: "I think it's in the back of your mind, of course, but you look at Leinster as well, they're probably more scarred from their defeat in the semi-final against Northampton, and that's something that continues to be alluded to. "But as a sportsperson, you can only be next-game focused. You try and right the wrongs, you try and learn from what you can and try and do a better job the next time. I think that's what we've done. I think we're in a good space, definitely travelling over to Leinster this time, even more so than we were three weeks ago. "Maybe it was a dead-rubber game, but I definitely think physically we were in a good position, our mindset was right to play and we certainly asked some good questions of Leinster. There's enough of a template there to know that if that's the way we can travel again, we'll ask good questions this time as well." Leinster have not won a major trophy since their URC triumph in 2021 and Carolan believes there will be pressure on the Irish side. "Albeit we have the champions tag, they're at home, they've got a serious quality team, a world-class team," he said. Article continues below "Obviously their expectations were to be a lot higher in the Champions Cup and they've missed out on that. "There's a lot of pressure on them to get silverware this year and it's up to us to try and get that trophy back to Scotland. "All we can do is focus on ourselves and put as much pressure on Leinster as we can, try and play the best version of our game. If we do that, we know we'll put pressure on them and who knows what will happen?"
