RAF Red Arrows Display Update for Sidmouth Regatta

Sadly the RAF Red Arrows will not be putting on a full display at todays Sidmouth Regatta, due to operational constraints. Instead they will be making three fly pasts.

Due to poor weather into the bank holiday weekend, the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team will be doing all it can to get to planned events and displays. However, due to forecasted conditions and also operational constraints impacting which airfields the Red Arrows will be able to use in the coming days, there will be changes to these scheduled performances: 

Switching the planned Sidmouth Regatta and Airshow display to three flypasts – scheduled at the original venue time of 1840  (Friday)

These operational constraints are impacting where the team can base its aircraft this week. As a result, the Red Arrows can’t use the original, planned airfield closer to Sidmouth. This has reduced how long the jets can be in-the-air above Sidmouth as they are more range-limited, coming from further away.
