Red Arrows to display with 7 aircraft not 9 - but where can you see them this summer?

The Red Arrows have started their training for summer 2022 and Brits will be able to watch their "breath-taking flying" at locations across the UK.

The Royal Air Force announced on Twitter that its Aerobatic Team - commonly known as The Red Arrows - have started their training ahead of the summer season.

The Red Arrows will be making several appearances the length and breadth of Britain this summer, with some minor changes to previous years.

According to an RAF press release, the Arrows will fly in a "seven-aircraft formation, rather than nine" this year because two members of the crew have moved to other positions in the air force.

The seven-aircraft display isn't unheard of and is used "when a situation dictates, such as illness or aircraft availability".

But despite having two less pilots, the spectacle will be no less impressive, the RAF adds.

The statement reads: "The 2022 display will feature all of the same breath-taking flying, dynamic teamwork and world-class precision the millions watching always expect – combining crowd-favourite manoeuvres with new shapes.

"All of the team are hard at work, perfecting and polishing this display ahead of the season beginning in late May.

"We look forward to displaying the best of British in what promises to be the team’s busiest campaign since 2018."

There will be seven Red Arrows this year rather than nine due to pilots taking new positions in the RAF (@rafredarrows / Twitter)
