On June 15, 2024, pilots will guide their planes over hundreds of miles of land, departing from RAF Waddington in Lincoln around 12:30 pm, and thousands of Brits will have the chance to witness them over approximately 19 destinations before returning to their RAF base.
The Red Arrows aerobatic team will soar across the UK’s skies this weekend in honor of Trooping the Colour, following a precise route around London and eastern England.
A highlight of the celebration, the teams cover long distances between air bases, starting from the East Coast. The final tour is usually the most spectacular, with pilots trailing colorful smoke behind their aircraft, drawing a large crowd.
It will accompany a parade that will be going through central London to mark the King’s ‘second birthday’ with other members of the royal family expected to take part in the celebrations.
From there, they turn towards Essex and fly over Chelmsford and then they finally reach London, where crowds will see them fly over Hackney, Shoreditch, and the City before reaching Westminster.
Those heading out to watch the proceedings and hoping to steal a peak of the incredible feat are lucky, as the planes will fly directly over central London this weekend.
