The Red Arrows are set to return to perform their classic air display in Warwickshire this summer as part of the Midlands Air Festival. The display will be held in the grounds of Ragley Hall Estate from May 31 to June 2, the first scheduled Red Arrows display for 2024.
This will be the sixth year of the festival where visitors can also enjoy a nightfire show, hot air balloon launches, model aircraft, and modern military aircraft demonstrators, and explore a range of stalls and exhibitors. There will also be a range of children’s rides and ‘more entertainment than ever before’, bosses say.
There will be a range of displays including Warbirds, Helicopters, Classic Jets, aerial ballet, high-energy aerobatics, flying circuses, and some of the largest radio-controlled models in the world – some of which are so big, you can almost climb into them.
In addition, there will be parachute display teams, plus the chance to get up close and personal with some of the display aircraft which will be landing on site on a dedicated runway. The flying display is said to be an ‘exciting and entertaining mix’ with a small section assigned for younger visitors.
The main flying displays will be held on June 1 and June 2 in the afternoon. No specialist aviation knowledge is needed to enjoy the show and there will be an international commentary team who will provide all the information you need for a ‘memorable day out’ in the relaxing surroundings of Ragley Hall.
As well as the RAF Red Arrow display, there will be other iconic model aircrafts taking to the skies such as:
BBMF Lancaster RAF Typhoon RAF Tutor Rolls Royce Heritage Flight Spitfire Stampe Display Team BBMF Hurricane BBMF Spitfire F-86 Sabre Flying Bulls Douglas DC-6B Rolls Royce Heritage Flight Mustang Team Raven
