Red Arrows fly past: Where and when to see this weekend's displays
The Red Arrows are once again taking to the skies after yesterday's VJ Day celebrations. The RAF jet pilots will put on a display at the Eastbourne International Airshow this afternoon. It comes after the aerobatic display team put on a flypast yesterday to commemorate VJ Day, or Victory over Japan Day. They first took to the skies along the south coast, but travelled into the midlands above Birmingham and Wolverhampton for the patriotic display. But if you missed them, you may still be able to catch a glimpse this weekend.

The RAF jet pilots will take to the skies today across the UK as part of the commemoration of VJ Day, or Victory over Japan Day. If you look up at the right time, you can see the aerobatic display team flying past your home. They are also scheduled to fly at dozens of military air shows today alone.

No place for Rhyl as Red Arrows shares full 2025 shows list
The Royal Air Force (RAF)'s aerobatic display team has been a mainstay at Rhyl Air Show, which is typically held on the Saturday and Sunday of the August bank holiday weekend. But the event has not taken place in Rhyl since 2023, with no confirmation yet as to whether it will go ahead this summer. On the Red Arrows' full list of 2025 performances, it says that the aerobatic team will be at the Roskilde Airshow in Denmark on Sunday, August 24 (the bank holiday weekend). This follows its appearance at the Clacton Airshow and the Sidmouth Regatta show in Devon, both on Friday, August 22. Last month, Rhyl Air Show organisers Denbighshire Leisure Ltd said it hoped to share information regarding this year's event soon. The Red Arrows featured at the 2022 and 2023 Rhyl Air Shows, but did not attend the 2019 event – the last prior to the COVID-19 pandemic - as it clashed with a tour of North America.

'Unfortunately, we have been informed that they will be away on an international tour over the summer, and unavailable for UK displays. Read more 'With the programme already subject to scrutiny over recent years, we believe the Red Arrows to be irreplaceable, and that their loss would inevitably lead to criticism of the Air Show. "We have concluded that it would be impossible for Denbighshire Leisure to deliver a show in keeping with the proud tradition of the Rhyl Air Show, which also meets public expectations, but we will come back in 2025 stronger.' As well as the Red Arrows, the 2023 Rhyl Air Show also featured performances from the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, Strikemaster Pair, Calidus Autogyro, and more.
