Spectators will be treated to a Red Arrows display over the West Country over the next couple of days. Fans of the RAF aerobatic team have an unexpected chance to catch their high-flying heroes in action again this weekend.

The team are set to perform in the Teignmouth Airshow, in Devon, tomorrow (Saturday, July 6) before returning to RAF Brize Norton on Sunday (July 7), reports Somerset Live. The display will start at around 1pm before the planes return to Cardiff.

During their return trip, the Red Arrows will fly over Buckland St Mary, Taunton and Old Cleeve between 1.40pm and 1.45pm. Then, on Sunday, the Red Arrows will start their journey from Cardiff Airport to RAF Brize Norton at 11.14am. This means they will be seen north of Shepton Mallet at around 11.28am and above Bradford-on-Avon and 11.30am.
