Red Arrows take to the skies over Derbyshire and the Peak District this week – and these are all the details you need to spot the iconic jets

The Red Arrows are set to take to the skies above Derbyshire and the Peak District twice this week – and these are all the details that eagle-eyed residents will need to be able to spot the iconic jets.

The Red Arrows are set to pass over Derbyshire as they make their way to the Isle of Man for the Douglas Display - with two opportunities to see the iconic jets.

On Thursday, June 4, the Red Arrows will depart from RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire at 3.29pm, before passing Southwell in Nottinghamshire at 3.34pm. At that time, residents should be ready for the jets to arrive over Alfreton and Somercotes, after which they will fly over Crich, Wirksworth and Brassington.

On Friday, June 5, the Red Arrows will leave RAF Valley at 11.30am, reaching Leek in Staffordshire at 11.50am. They will then pass over Derbyshire again immediately after, with their route taking them over Matlock, Darley Dale, Clay Cross, Holmewood, Glapwell and Shirebrook.
