The Red Arrows will be on route from their base at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire ahead of an appearance at the Midlands Air Festival and a flypast along the Severn Valley.

Flight plans have them due to leave Waddington at 9.45am, passing west of Corby at 10.09am and Towcester at 10.13am.

Villagers in Pipewell, Rushton, Loddington, Mawsley, Old, Holcot, Pitsford, Boughton, Rothersthorpe, Tiffield, Caldecote, Greens Norton and Slapton should also get a cracking view — although don't expect the Arrows trademark red, white and blue vapor trails... that's strictly for entertainment purposes only.

2023 is the team's 59th season and includes more than 60 displays at locations at home and overseas.
