The Red Arrows display team will perform above the Isle of Wight this morning (Sunday, June 30) as part of IW Armed Forces Day.

See the Red Arrows flight map below

Flying from the south, the Red Arrows will arrive over St Catherine’s Point at 11.28am and onto Shanklin just a minute later.

At 11.30am, the team will start their display above Ryde Esplanade before moving east towards Cowes at 11.50am, where eagle-eyed Islanders might be able to spot them travelling back to base in Bournemouth.

The IW Armed Forces Day event is taking place on the Esplanade, mostly at the Eastern Gardens - but Appley and Ryde Beach will also be excellent viewing spots.

The Red Arrows' signature moves include corkscrew, vortex, detonator and the much-revered heart and spear.

The Red Arrows could be heard or seen for a brief flypast later in the afternoon, from Ventnor and Shanklin, with the team's flightpath to the Folkestone Armed Forces’ Day Display seeing the planes fly close to the Island at around 2.23pm.
