Red Arrows map: Two opportunities to see the Red Arrows over Nottinghamshire this week - route and timings

The famous Red Arrows display team will be flying over Nottinghamshire twice this week as they depart and then return to their Lincolnshire base.

This weekend the iconic RAF display team will be performing at the Wales Airshow, making appearances on Saturday, July 5 and Sunday, July 6.

Ahead of the weekend, the jets will be temporarily based at Exeter Airport.

They are due to make the journey from RAF Waddington to Devon late on Friday afternoon (July 4).

Their route to the south west will take them over eastern parts of Nottinghamshire, with those in Newark-on-Trent afforded the best view of the red jets.

On Sunday, the aircraft will return to RAF Waddington - once again taking them over Nottinghamshire.
