Red Arrows Plan Spectacular Flyover Over Cambridgeshire on August 22

The Red Arrows, the renowned British aerobatic team, will perform a flyover in parts of Cambridgeshire on August 22, 2023, as they head to the Clacton air show. The team, flying from RAF Mildenhall, will depart at 12:47 PM and is scheduled to pass over Newmarket just two minutes later at 12:49 PM.

The flight path will take the Red Arrows over several locations, including Stratford St Mary and Great Bentley, before arriving in Clacton at 1:00 PM for their display. After the show, they will return to RAF Mildenhall, flying directly over Bury St Edmunds and Wordwell at approximately 1:41 PM, with an expected landing back at the airbase at 1:42 PM.

For those unable to witness the early afternoon display, the Red Arrows will make another appearance as they head to Exeter Airport. Their second departure from RAF Mildenhall is set for 15:25 PM. They will first fly towards Feltwell at 15:27 PM, continuing over parts of Cambridgeshire, including Ely, Hemingford Grey, and Little Paxton. The team is expected to reach Bolnhurst by 15:33 PM.

Following this segment of their journey, the Red Arrows will fly south of Northampton before arriving at Exeter Airport at 16:02 PM. All scheduled routes and timings may change based on weather conditions, so spectators are advised to stay updated.

Observers can identify the Red Arrows by their distinctive BAE Systems Hawk T1 advanced trainer aircraft, often flying in their classic Diamond Nine formation, which is a signature style of their performances.

As excitement builds for the Clacton air show, the flyovers provide a unique opportunity for fans to experience the thrill of the Red Arrows in flight, showcasing their skill and precision in the skies above Cambridgeshire.
