Red Arrows Set for Spectacular Flyover in Cambridgeshire

The Red Arrows, the renowned British aerobatic team, will perform a series of flyovers in Cambridgeshire on August 22, 2024, as part of their participation in the Clacton air display. The iconic team is scheduled to depart from RAF Mildenhall and will pass over various locations in the region during their flight.

The Red Arrows are expected to take off from RAF Mildenhall at 12:47 PM. Their first sighting will occur shortly after, as they fly over Newmarket at 12:49 PM. Following this, the team will continue their journey, passing over Stratford St Mary and Great Bentley before arriving in Clacton at 1:00 PM for the display.

After the performance, the Red Arrows will return to RAF Mildenhall, flying directly over Bury St Edmunds at approximately 1:41 PM. They are projected to land back at the airbase by 1:42 PM. This return journey offers another opportunity for spectators in the area to catch a glimpse of the aircraft.

For those unable to witness the early afternoon flyover, the Red Arrows will embark on another flight later that day. They are slated to depart RAF Mildenhall again at 15:25 PM, heading towards Feltwell at 15:27 PM. This route will take them over parts of Cambridgeshire, including Ely, Hemingford Grey, and Little Paxton, before heading to Bolnhurst at 15:33 PM. The team is set to reach Exeter Airport by 16:02 PM.

It is important to note that all flight paths and timings are subject to change depending on weather conditions. Observers can identify the Red Arrows by their BAE Systems Hawk T1 aircraft, often flying in the signature Diamond Nine formation, a hallmark of their performances.

As the excitement builds for the Clacton display, residents and visitors in Cambridgeshire are encouraged to keep an eye on the skies for this remarkable aerial display.
