The Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, are set to delight spectators in Cardiff. Instead of waiting for July's Swansea's Airshow, where the Arrows will put on their usual display, fans can head down to see them just outside the capital Wednesday (June 4) and Thursday (June 5).
The Red Arrows will be stationed at The Flying Club Rhoose, located at Cardiff Airport, from 10am on Wednesday, June 4 until 4pm on Thursday, June 5.
They will be stopping off at the flying club while returning from an air show in the west country.
Spectators will have the opportunity to see the Red Arrows parked up at the flying club, and they may even get a chance to see them practice in the sky above the capital.
The flying club will open its doors from 9am on Wednesday, offering a limited menu of bacon rolls, sausage rolls, fresh coffee and cold drinks.
On Thursday, the regular menu will be served until 2.30pm, with fresh rolls available until 4.30pm.

The next opportunity to see the Red Arrows will be at the Wales Airshow on Saturday, July 5, and Sunday, July 6.
At the airshow, spectators can enjoy two days of breathtaking aerial displays over Swansea Bay, with the Red Arrows set to perform on both days.
The annually free Wales National Airshow has been drawing crowds upwards of 200,000 with its blend of live music, food, drinks, and various ground activities.
Swansea's Councillor Robert Francis-Davies, the Cabinet Member for Investment, Regeneration, Events, and Tourism, shared his enthusiasm: "It's amazing to have the Red Arrows back again, and great to have them perform on both days at the 2025 Wales National Airshow.
"Their displays never fail to captivate the audience, and we know that visitors will be just as thrilled as ever.

Welsh Labour MP Chris Bryant says he was sexually abused by theatre boss as a teenager
Welsh Labour MP Chris Bryant says he was sexually abused by theatre boss as a teenager The Labour minister said he was left feeling like a '16-year-old whore' by Michael Croft, the head of the prestigious National Youth Theatre Labour Minister Chris Bryant has recounted how he was sexually abused by the disgraced founder of the National Youth Theatre (Image: Visionhaus/Getty Images) Sir Chris Bryant has revealed he was sexually abused as a teenager by the founder of the National Youth Theatre, Michael Croft. The Labour minister became emotional during an interview, describing how he felt like a "16-year-old whore" due to the actions of Mr Croft, who was at the helm of the esteemed drama group. In a conversation with the Sunday Times, Sir Chris Bryant recounted that Mr Croft, who died in 1986, would invite him for dinner every evening when he was part of the company in London during the summer of 1978, at the age of 16. One night, said Sir Chris, he returned from the toilet at Mr Croft's residence to find his host, who was four decades older than him, naked apart from a silk robe. The minster said the abuse left him feeling like a "16-year-old whore" (Image: PA) The MP for Rhondda and Ogmore disclosed that Mr Croft then propositioned him for sex, and he felt he had no choice but to comply, reports the Mirror. Ahead of the launch of his book 'A Life And A Half: The Unexpected Making Of A Politician', Sir Chris admitted: "I don't like telling this very much because I've not told it very often. "It was always the same Italian in King's Cross. He would eat and drink, I would eat, then he would theoretically give me a lift home, except I always ended up at his house." For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here Sir Chris stated that Mr Croft never made another advance towards him, and they remained friends. As an ordained minister, he even agreed to officiate Mr Croft's funeral. However, he expressed anger over the abuse of power and confessed to internalising the shame. "He behaved absolutely appallingly, it's despicable," Sir Chris said. "Michael, in my case, managed to spot somebody who was gay at a time when nearly all homosexuality was illegal - certainly very frowned on - so presumed that people would keep a secret." He revealed that at least one colleague from his National Youth Theatre days was also abused by Mr Croft. The 63-year-old also disclosed he had been sexually assaulted by five male MPs during his time in Westminster, though he has not identified or reported them. "There was no system for doing so and I was frightened it would make me look bad," he explained. He noted that homophobia in Parliament had decreased during his 24 years as an MP. A statement on the National Youth Theatre website said: "We are grateful to Chris Bryant for disclosing to our team the historical abuse he suffered in the company in the 1970s. We are very sorry that this happened to him and to others who have previously shared with us their accounts of historic abuse by the same perpetrator. "As we set out in a public statement on the case in 2017, we stand in solidarity with all victims of abuse and encourage anyone who has experienced abuse, no matter how long ago, to speak to someone and access support. "In this case the perpetrator has been deceased since 1986, but all reports made to us will be dealt with in accordance with our robust and formalised safeguarding policy and practice. "While Chris writes he doesn't feel damaged by what happened, we recognise that being subjected to an abuse of power can have lasting consequences for many, in different ways. "Anyone getting in touch will be listened to and treated with care and respect by trained professionals, in line with our certified trauma-informed practice. "We are grateful to Chris for his support of our organisation today, and acknowledgement of how different a charity we are in 2025 to the one he encountered in the 1970s, with thorough safeguarding practices and policies in place."

Homes Under the Hammer host warns ‘don't underestimate' as he discovers ‘massive job'
Homes Under the Hammer host warns 'don't underestimate' as he discovers 'massive job' BBC Homes Under the Hammer presenter Martin Roberts was left horrified after discovering a problem with the two-bed house in Maerdy, Wales, and warned the buyer to not underestimate it Homes Under the Hammer presenter Martin Roberts was left horrified after discovering a major problem as he warned the buyer 'don't underestimate' the job. During Sunday's (3rd August) episode of the BBC hit show, which was a repeat, the TV host headed to the former minging village of Maerdy in the Rhondda Valley, where he visited a classic two-bed mid-terrace house that was set to go under the hammer. As many know, purchasing a property at auction, particularly without first inspecting it, always comes with plenty of risk. This was certainly the case for the Welsh property as Martin encountered an unbearable odour just minutes into the viewing. While touring the home, Martin issued a stern warning to parental buyers as he said "don't underestimate" this issue.

He continued: 'Now, don't underestimate the amount of effort it is going to take to get rid of that, especially if the dog has been allowed to just roam around and do whatever dogs do inside.' He presented then cautioned: "To get rid of that smell is a massive job, don't underestimate it." Tim from Berkshire, who is a familiar face on Homes Under the Hammer, was the brave buyer who took on the task of transforming the property. Tim from Berkshire was the brave buyer who took on the task of transforming the property (Image: BBC) He snapped up the property for £57,500 and is no stranger to purchasing homes in need of a desperate makeover as he had previously renovated a property in South Wales. Tim had set aside four to five months and a budget of £12,000 to give the house a new lease of life before renting it out. Discussing the challenge of eliminating the unpleasant odour, Tim revealed that the house had to undergo fumigation for a week. He said: "It was a real challenge to get the property up to the standard mainly because we literally had to completely gut everything that was in here and then once all that was taken away the house went under fumigation for a week... before the renovation could start." Article continues below In a surprising turn of events, Tim decided to sell the house instead of renting it out. After sticking to his budget, with a total expenditure of £69,500, the house was valued between £90,000 to £95,000. This left Tim with a profit of £25,000, which he admitted was "a little low" as he had hoped to sell it for more. Homes Under the Hammer airs on BBC One and iPlayer
