Bit of a sucker for a Red Arrows fly-by and in the past, I’ve tried to put myself in a field somewhere under the flight path, to get a great view. Today, there’s a routine starting in Teeside and coming south through the aforementioned areas.

The image below shows the basic timings and the map link allows you to zoom in to what is usually an extremely accurate flight-path….albeit subject to change.

I would highly recommend finding yourself somewhere to position yourself on the yellow line shown, if you have nothing else to do with your time later this afternoon.

Hope it’s helpful to someone.

Thanks John, but map doesn’t seem to correspond with list of locations

Didn't someone post on here who was part of the red arrows set up a while back.??

Sorry, it’s a bit better when you zoom right in.

Yes you MUST zoom in to get exact references

The one near Long Preston is Swinden according to my map. Worth a ride out on my motorbike me thinks.

The waypoint 5 is just south west of the village about 500 yards from my house on the Wigglesworth road between LP and the River Ribble

I should be in Settle about 5.30pm so will certainly keep an eye out for the fly past.
Cheers JD.

I was in settle last night for the cricket. Bad timing I guess.

He was one of the Arrows 'Back Up Team'
Still use his photo over t'Turf as my mobile lHome screen.

Came over us at Nunthorpe (nr Middlesbrough) about 30 mins ago, wasn’t expecting them until 5.00 ish.

There are two today

Yours was the route to Teeside; the next is the route from Teeside…I think….

I wonder if Settle and Long Preston will be as bad as this

I live about 8 miles from Shawbury , I'll be heading up there about 5.30 ish . Thanks for the info.

They'll be over here for the Cosford airshow tomorrow . To get into and out of it is a nightmare.

You’re welcome

30 (ish) minutes to go

Just flew over LP but on the other side of the village between us and Malhamdale

Passed right over the top of our house in Glusburn

We stood on the roadside near Lund Tower. Two sets but no formation stuff. Unbelievably busy.

Albert, I see that you’re N.Yorks but if you’d like to join us West Yorkshire Clarets for a drink and a chat when we’re over this side of the valley, you’d be very welcome!

We’re meeting in Bingley this coming Thursday. If this might be of interest to you, please feel free to drop me an email at wyclarets at gmail dot com. John

Just 5 arrows.
Living in Lincoln I am lucky to get them overhead on many occasions as I am on their flight runs from Waddington to Scampton.

Many times we get 9 arrows and sometimes are lucky to see 3 join the other 6 in an amazing exercise

Hi Dave,

They weren’t in formation unfortunately. We got two sets…a five and a four.

All 9 flew in formation around the airbase in Shawbury before 8 of them landed individually . The 9th flew round again tipping its wings to about 20 of us before landing.

Awesome

I know you’re a man of many talents Bosscat, but blimey, pilot as well. I hope you enjoyed your flight.
