Exact time to see Red Arrows taking off from RAF Waddington just outside Nottinghamshire on Friday

Aviation enthusiasts in the East Midlands are in for a treat tomorrow (Friday, July 5) as the famous Red Arrows depart their Lincolnshire base. 

The iconic jets will depart RAF Waddington for Southend Airport ahead of the Headcorn Battle of Britain Airshow. 

According to Military Airshows, the Arrows will leave Waddington at 9.30am, before heading immediately east. 

The best place to catch a glimpse of the jets is the RAF Waddington spotters’ car park, just off the A15.

They will transit to Southend Airport via the East Anglian Coast and are scheduled to arrive around 40 minutes later. 

The following day, Saturday, July 6, the display team will be performing at the Wales Airshow in Swansea. 

This summer the Red Arrows are scheduled to perform at dozens of displays across the UK, alongside several in mainland Europe and North America.
