The Red Arrows, Britain’s renowned aerobatic display team, thrilled crowds during the recent VE Day celebrations. For those who missed the dazzling flypast, the excitement continues throughout summer 2025 with numerous opportunities to witness their extraordinary aerial performances.
Having completed their pre-season training over Greece, the Red Arrows are set for a full calendar of shows running through October. Fans in the Midlands and South West of England will be among the first to enjoy the 2025 display, kickstarting the season at major airshows in Alcester and Torbay at the end of May.
Following these openers, the iconic Hawk T1 jets will trace their vibrant red, white, and blue trails across the skies at events throughout the UK. Their appearances will span airshows, festivals, and key events including the Isle of Man TT races, Goodwood Festival of Speed, the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, and the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

There are nine Hawk T1 jets in the Red Arrows team, divided into two sections: the front five aircraft, dubbed ‘Enid’ after author Enid Blyton’s Famous Five, and the rear four jets, known as ‘Hanna,’ honoring founder Ray Hanna. Depending on weather conditions, the team leader selects one of three displays — a full aerobatic routine on clear days, a rolling display, or a lower-altitude flat display when cloud ceilings are low.
In addition to their UK tours, the Red Arrows will represent Britain internationally with planned displays across Europe, including Spain, Denmark, Romania, Poland, Belgium, and the Czech Republic.
