The Red Arrows’ planned flight over North Yorkshire didn’t go ahead as planned today.
To the disappointment of many people looking skywards this morning, the transit flight did not go ahead.
The Red Arrows posted an update at 9.13am today (Monday, 18 March) saying: “You may have seen details, given by some outlets online, about a low-level transit by the Red Arrows across parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire this morning.
“This flight is not taking place due to a change in training priorities and sorties today.”
Here’s hoping it’s rescheduled in the near future.

The Red Arrows are due to fly over parts of York and North Yorkshire this morning (Monday).
They are setting off from RAF Waddington for a circular route that comes right over York.
They set off at 9.23am heading across the north of England before landing at RAF Coningsby.

- 9.30am SW of Gilberdyke
- 9.32am NW of Elvington
- 9.34am NW of Nun Monkton

- 9.38am S of Great Broughton
- 9.41am NE of Easington

- 9.53am Vicinity of Brigg
- 9.55am W of North Elkington
- 9.58am Vicinity of Τουντον All Saints

It means they should be over the centre of York at around 9.33am.
This year is the Red Arrows’ 60th anniversary. They will display with nine Hawk T1 aircraft, and will have special artwork on the side to commemorate the Diamond Season.
Happy watching!
