The Red Arrows are set to grace the skies of Wales on Friday as they journey to a significant event.

They'll be visible overhead as they head to the start of the TT races on the Isle of Man. This follows their participation in a fly-past in Normandy, France, marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings on Thursday.

Today, Friday, June 7, the red arrows are scheduled to depart from Bournemouth Airport, taking a brief respite at RAF Valley on Anglesey before heading over the Isle of Man for a display to commemorate the annual bike races, reports Wales Online.

The Royal Airforce Aerobatics Team will perform over Douglas Bay during the Isle of Man TT race week. The display is slated to take place over Douglas Bay at 7.30pm.

The team will also be performing in Wales this summer as they headline Swansea's Wales Airshow on July 6 and 7. There had been minor uncertainty over the Red Arrows' appearance this year after the 2024 Rhyl Air Show was cancelled because the aerobatics team were embarking on a 60th season anniversary tour.

However, any concerns have been firmly quashed by Swansea Council, organisers of the airshow. The Red Arrows have confirmed the dates and locations they will display this year.

The team is made up of pilots, engineers and essential support staff who have flown operationally, in frontline aircraft such as the advanced Typhoon. The full display sequence changes every year but they typically include a variety of synchronised, formation aerobatics, followed by a more dynamic second half.

This year the team will display in dozens of locations across the world, including at Southport Air Show. You can view the full schedule below.
