Red Arrows to fly along Nottinghamshire/Lincolnshire border on way to air show - full route and timings

The famous Red Arrows will be visible to those on the Nottinghamshire/Lincolnshire border later this week as they travel to and from a display on the south coast. 

On Thursday, August 15, the iconic aircraft will travel from their base at RAF Waddington to RAF Odiham in Hampshire ahead of a performance at Eastbourne’s Airbourne air show later that day. 

The team’s route to Hampshire will take them close to the border of Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, presenting yet another chance for residents in certain areas to catch a glimpse of the famous red jets this summer. 

According to Military Airshows, the aircraft will depart RAF Waddington at 11.49am on Thursday, before heading over the A17 near Sleaford. 

They will then head south over Lincolnshire, before soaring over the vicinity of Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire at 11.57am. 

For the return journey to RAF Waddington later that afternoon, the aircraft are due to depart RAF Odiham at 5.30pm. 

A similar route back to Lincolnshire will take them close to the Nottinghamshire border at 5.54pm. 

Those in Nottingham keen on seeing the Arrows should take a short drive to Grantham just before 6pm for the best chance of catching a glimpse of the famous jets. 

They are due back in at RAF Waddington - where there is also a designated viewing area - at 5.56pm.
