Red Arrows booked in for Guernsey Air Display

The RAF has confirmed the Red Arrows will return later this year for Guernsey's annual air show.

It said the aerobatic display team would feature at the Guernsey Air Display in the evening on Wednesday 10 September.

They will appear alongside the Dakota from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) and the Typhoon display aircraft.

Barry Neal, flying display director, said: "The Reds and BBMF are stalwarts of the display, and a highlight for many."

He added: "We always apply for the Typhoon but we're rarely successful so that will be a fantastic addition.

"Everyone loves a fast and noisy jet."

The show was held in June last year, but the Guernsey Air Display Foundation said it had changed the date to September to accommodate the Red Arrows' overseas tour.

The event is being held between 18:30 and 20:00 BST to make it more accessible, particularly for students and families.
