Famous Red Arrows set to return to Southend Airport tomorrow - all the timings

THE iconic Red Arrows are expected to return to Southend Airport tomorrow as they take part in another display after thrilling residents last week.

Crowds gathered around the airport as it hosted the famous red-painted Hawk jets on Sunday, while the display team took part in the Folkestone Armed Forces Day event.

Plane spotters were delighted as the Red Arrows landed and took off at Southend Airport in formation.

However, enthusiasts who missed the RAF aircraft will have another chance to see them soar over the city as they are expected to return to Southend Airport tomorrow, the Echo understands.

The Arrows will mark the anniversary of the Battle of Britain at Headcorn Aerodrome on Friday, July 5, with spectacular flying displays, and the south Essex airport is set to host them while they take part.

They are expected to land at Southend Airport tomorrow (July 5) at 10.16am before heading to the show at 12.47pm and returning to the airport at 1.38pm.

They will then depart again at 4pm, giving residents plenty of time to see them.

The pilots and engineers from the team later shared their fascinating stories with diners and workers at Prowse, as they stopped for dinner at the popular restaurant above Westcliff Arches.

This comes after the airport has hosted the famous RAF aircraft as well as the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight over the past two summers while they took part in the Eastbourne Airshow.
