Red Arrows flight path: Where and when to see today's Battle of Britain display
The Red Arrows are taking to the skies today to commemorate Armed Forces Day. If you're hoping to catch a glimpse of the impressive displays, you might just be in luck today if you're on or near one of the flight paths. Red Arrows are Hawk T1 fast-jets, which can reach a maximum speed of 660mph, while they can exceed the speed of sound in a dive. At 11.45 am, the famous fleet will perform at the Isle of Wight display for the Battle of Britain. Around 12.21 pm, they will be visible at Bournemouth, before flying overseas and reaching Southend airport to stop for a break. Just after 5 pm, the Red Arrows will leave Southend Airport, passing over Gravesend and flying over Pembury in Kent at 5.08 pm. The famous planes will then fly over Kent again, reaching Benenden at 5.14 pm, before reaching Headcorn at 5.15 pm. They will then pass Harrietsham at 5.49 pm, and be visible near Sheppey around 5.50 pm. Today's displays are for the Battle of Britain show, and will include flights by Spitfire and Hurricane planes, both of which were involved in the actual battle during World War Two. From July 10, 1940, until October 31, the Battle of Britain raged over British skies. It overlapped with the Blitz which saw German bombs rain down on London and other UK cities such as Bristol, Cardiff, Belfast, and Glasgow. Anyone dreaming of becoming a Red Arrow pilot needs to have a minimum of 1,500 flying hours under their belt, have completed a frontline, operational tour and be assessed above average as a pilot. More Trending The home of the Red Arrows, aptly nicknamed 'The Reds,' is at the RAF Waddington base in Lincolnshire. The arrows moved there in late 2022 after 40 years at RAF Scampton. In case you didn't catch the Red Arrows in London this year, you can find all the landmarks that will be illuminated in red, white and blue tonight here.

Trooping The Colour first as RAF make major change to spectacular Red Arrows flypast in move that ‘will delight Charles'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE royals went green yesterday as the Trooping The Colour flypast featured nine Red Arrow jets powered by sustainable aviation fuel. After the planes tore down The Mall and over Buckingham Palace — leaving their famous red, white and blue smoke trails — details were released of the historic moment.

Sustainable aviation fuel is typically made from waste cooking oils. A renewable biofuel, made from hydro-treated vegetable oil that does not release new carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, was used to create smoke trails. It is thought to be the first time anywhere in the world that the two environmentally friendly fuels were used at the same time by a national aerobatic team. It comes after we exclusively revealed the Red Arrows have 13 working jets and may be down to six by 2028. An aide to the King said: 'The King will obviously be delighted to hear about the RAF use of sustainable aviation fuel. He has been encouraging wider use on royal flights where possible and practical. 'His Majesty hopes to be an early adopter whose example will encourage wider use across the aviation sector.' Meanwhile, the Princess of Wales took a front row royal seat as she returned to full participation in Trooping the Colour — while also keeping a watchful eye on her three children. Kate, 43, shared a dais at Horse Guards Parade with the King, 76, and Queen Camilla, 77, after being forced to watch much of last year's event backstage as she was recovering from cancer. She could not resist tapping her feet to the military music on parade and glancing over at hubby Prince William, 42, who was on horseback alongside Prince Edward and Princess Anne. On the eve of last year's bash, she apologised to the Irish Guards — who were trooping their colour — for not being able to represent them. But Kate was back yesterday and arrived at Horse Guards Parade resplendent in turquoise with her three children George, 11, Charlotte, ten, and seven-year-old Louis. The family waved at adoring crowds who had camped out for hours to see their favourite royals as they were taken in an open-top Ascot Landau carriage from Buckingham Palace up The Mall to the parade ground. Louis had to be held back by an aide as he tried to scamper into the Major General's Office to watch proceedings from a second floor window. In there, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, took over child control. But all three youngsters were on best behaviour and respectfully bowed their heads each time the Coldstream Guards passed below with their colours taking the Royal Salute. 9 The Red Arrows trailing their red, white and blue smoke over The Mall Credit: Alamy 9 The Royals wave to the crowds at Trooping of Colour Credit: Reuters 9 Kate and Charlotte smile as they pass the jubilant crowds Credit: PA Prince William, in bearskin hat, again sported the beard he grew ten months ago for the first time at Trooping the Colour — after the Army changed its rules, allowing soldiers to appear with facial hair. The King, for the second successive year, took part in a carriage rather than on horseback, due to his ongoing cancer treatment. Beforehand, a minute's silence was held by all royals, soldiers and 8,000 spectators for Air India victims. Charles had ordered royals, senior officers and coachmen to wear black armbands. Spectators included PM Sir Keir Starmer and Defence Secretary John Healey.

King and Queen watch Red Arrows over Rome during Italy state visit
King Charles and Queen Camilla enjoyed a Red Arrows display at Quirinale Palace and a red carpet welcome on their state visit to Italy. The UK's Red Arrow pilots flew alongside Italian air force aerobatic team, Frecce Tricolori, in a flypast that trailed the colours of both countries over the skies above Rome. The royals can be seen admiring the show with Italy's President Sergio Mattarella and his daughter Laura who is acting in a first lady role after the death of her mother. The King and Queen will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary on Wednesday 9 April, attending a state banquet in the evening alongside politicians and celebrities.
