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.

Map shows where and when to see the VJ Day display today
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video If you missed the Red Arrows fly past on VE Day, there are plenty of opportunities to spot them today. 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. Victory over Japan Day is marked every year on August 15, the day when Imperial Japan surrendered to the Allied forces. It marks the end of the Second World War 80 years ago. Although Nazi Germany – part of the Axis powers – had already surrendered in Europe in May, its ally Japan had still been engaged in fighting, especially around the Pacific. 15 August – Airbourne – Eastbourne International Airshow Display 16 August – Airbourne – Eastbourne International Airshow Display 17 August – Airbourne – Eastbourne International Airshow Display 20 August – Cromer Carnival Display 21 August – Clacton Airshow Display 22 August – Clacton Airshow Display 22 August – Sidmouth Regatta Display 24 August – Roskilde Airshow, Denmark Display 30 August – Bucharest International Air Show Flypast 30 August – Radom Airshow, Poland Display 31 August – Radom Airshow, Poland Display 5 September – International Ayr Show, Scotland Display 6 September – International Ayr Show, Scotland Display 7 September – Great North Run, Newcastle/South Shields Display 10 September – Guernsey Air Display 11 September – Jersey International Air Display 13 September – International Sanicole Airshow, Belgium Display 14 September – International Sanicole Airshow, Belgium Display 20 September – NATO Days – Ostrava, Czech Republic Display 21 September – NATO Days – Ostrava, Czech Republic Display 27 September – Overseas Event to be confirmed. 28 September – Overseas Event to be confirmed. 4 October – Duxford Flying Finale Display Japan's surrender came just days after the brutal detonation of the atomic bombs by the US on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

All the locations across the UK that you can see the Red Arrows in action this summer
A cancellation due to bad weather on Saturday left thousands of fans gutted HEADS UP! All the locations across the UK that you can see the Red Arrows in action this summer THE legendary Red Arrows are back with a bang this summer - and fans are in for a treat as the iconic RAF display team takes to the skies across the UK. From seaside resorts to city flyovers, we've rounded up every spot you can catch the jaw-dropping jets in action. 3 Here is a roundup of all the places where you can catch the team performing their daring stunts Credit: Getty 3 Crowds have previously packed the streets to watch the legendary RAF display team roar over them Credit: Getty Buzzing Brits got a right royal treat as the Red Arrows kicked off their summer 2025 season with a breathtaking flypast over Buckingham Palace to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day. Crowds packed the streets of London to watch the legendary RAF display team roar over the capital - kicking off months of high-flying action across the UK. The Red Arrows' Hawk T1 jets, known for their iconic red, white and blue smoke trails, can hit dizzying speeds of 660mph and even break the sound barrier in a dive. But it's not just for show - that vibrant vapour helps the pilots judge wind direction and stay in tight formation after splitting apart at eye-watering speeds. Behind the scenes, it takes an army to keep the jets soaring — 11 elite pilots, backed by 100 engineers and support crew, nicknamed the 'Circus' for their precision teamwork. Only the best of the best get to join - Red Arrow hopefuls must clock at least 1,500 flying hours, complete an operational tour, and be rated 'above average' in the air. Here's where you can catch their sky-high stunts this summer...

October 2025 04 October – Duxford Flying Finale Display Let's hope the skies stay clear - because just on Saturday, the Red Arrows were forced to pull the plug on a much-anticipated display at Old Buckenham Airshow due to bad weather. The cancellation left thousands of fans gutted, with organisers confirming the team wouldn't fly amid safety concerns caused by poor visibility and unpredictable conditions. They took to social media to post: "Sadly, the RAF Red Arrows have been cancelled today due to the deteriorating conditions. "Safety is paramount and just announced by Red 10. "We have managed to have more than half of the acts display, and thank you all for your support." It's a reminder that even the mightiest jets are at the mercy of the British weather. So, fingers crossed for blue skies at their upcoming shows.
