Red Arrows route mapped and full schedule today as jets travel across country

The Red Arrows will fly over large parts of the UK today while en route to the Farnborough Airshow for the show's final day.

The darting jets and their pilots will perform a flypast for the show just before noon.

They will be seen in the skies both before and after their appearance at the event.

The RAF squadron will fly from their home base at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire at 11.58am.

They'll head down to Farnborough via Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Hampshire - giving Brits across large swathes of the country.

Last month, Brits saw the famous Red Arrows was on June 26 as they made their way to the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

And before that the acrobatic air wonders dazzled Brits with their performance in the flypast for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

The Queen was captured saying "how incredible" during the Red Arrows flypast over central London on June 2.

The monarch, 96, appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony and watched the six-minute display of more than 70 aircraft featuring Apache helicopters, Typhoons and the Red Arrows.

Dozens of aircraft from the Royal Navy, the Army and Royal Air Force soared over the royal residence after Trooping the Colour.

Thousands of wellwishers were draped in Union flags, party hats and plastic tiaras as they flocked to central London for the Trooping spectacle.

First to appear in the capital's skies today were the Royal Navy Wildcat, Royal Navy Merlin and British Army Apache helicopters.

The Ministry of Defence said more than 70 aircraft, including aircraft used by the UK Armed Forces on operations around the world, took part.

The display included helicopters from the Royal Navy and the Army and RAF aircraft recently seen responding to events in Kabul and Ukraine and the coronavirus pandemic.

The flypast also featured highlights from the history of the RAF, with Puma and Chinook helicopters flying over the palace followed by the Lancaster, three Spitfires and two Hurricanes, all operated by the RAF's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

The Red Arrows made their approach to Buckingham Palace via flying north of Colchester and Chelmsford, Essex, before heading straight down The Mall and over Buckingham Palace.
