Red Arrows to return to Jersey air show
The Red Arrows will take part in this year's Jersey International Air Display, it has been announced. Organiser Mike Higgins said the RAF acrobatic display team would star in the show on 11 September. The Red Arrows did not take part in last year's event due to scheduling conflicts. In December, Mr Higgins said he was hoping to "get back to the level of the air display in 2013 when we won the trophy for the best European air show". Mr Higgins also confirmed a Typhoon jet will feature in this year's four-hour event. At last year's event, there were displays over St Aubins' Bay by the RAF Falcons parachute team, a Fairey Swordfish biplane and a PBY Catalina flying boat. Follow BBC Jersey on X and Facebook.
