The world-famous Red Arrows are set to fly over parts of Lancashire today (June 6) and this weekend – and if you are lucky you might catch a glimpse of the aerobatic team flying overhead.

A Military Airshows website has published a map of the team’s predicted flight path. The Red Arrows are set to be seen over parts of West Lancashire, including Fleetwood Hesketh Bank, Preston and Leyland.

The team will be flying for RAF Valley, in Wales, to RAF Lossiemouth, in north-east Scotland, today. On Saturday, the Red Arrows will be flying from RAF Lossiemouth to Liverpool Airport.

On Sunday, June 8, it will be heading to the Shropshire for a display at the RAF Cosford.

The Red Arrows are set to fly over Hesketh Bank at 11.42am. The aircraft are set to be visible over Preston at 11.43am and then south east of Fleetwood at around 11.45am.

On June 7, the Red Arrows are set to fly over Preston at 4.40pm and Leyland at 4.41pm.

A spokesperson for the RAF said: “The Red Arrows is one of the world's premier aerobatic display teams.

“Representing the speed, agility and precision of the Royal Air Force, the team is the public face of the service.

“They assist in recruiting to the Armed Forces, act as ambassadors for the United Kingdom at home and overseas and promote the best of British.

“Flying distinctive hawk fast-jets, the team is made up of pilots, engineers and essential support staff with frontline, operational experience.

“Together, they demonstrate the excellence and capabilities of the Royal Air Force and the service’s skilled, talented people.

“Often with their trademark diamond nine shape, and combination of close formations and precision flying, the Red Arrows have been displaying since 1965.

"All Red Arrows display pilots have flown operationally, in frontline aircraft such as the advanced typhoon, and helped the Royal Air Force to secure the skies every day of the year.

“Based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire, the Red Arrows had flown almost 5,000 displays in 57 countries, by the beginning of 2023 – the team's 59th season.”
