The renowned Red Arrows are scheduled to conduct a flyover above a section of London en route to an airshow on Guernsey the following day. Nine skilled pilots flying Hawk T1 jets will showcase their precision flying skills over Woolwich Barracks on Wednesday. The team, known for their iconic Diamond Nine formation, has been wowing audiences worldwide since 1965. Departing from RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire at 9.36am, the Red Arrows will pass over Peterborough and Harlow before reaching London for the flyby. They will then proceed southward over Sussex, concluding their journey at the Guernsey Air Display 2025 with a grand performance at 6.36pm.
For spectators in the capital, the Red Arrows will be visible over Valentines Park, Ilford, at 9.59am and Woolwich Barracks at 10am, as per the flight plan available online. Flight plans, also known as Notices to Airmen (NOTAM), are issued to alert pilots to potential flight route hazards. While the Red Arrows are set to finish their 2025 Flying Season with a final display at the former RAF site in Duxford on October 4, it is important to note that flight schedules are subject to change or cancellation at short notice due to various factors such as weather conditions or operational requirements.
