A full schedule for the Red Arrows in Falmouth this weekend has been published as part of wider details on the Armed Forces Day air displays.

There will be a variety of military air displays taking place across Saturday afternoon, starting with a parachute drop from the RAF Falcons and continuing with a range of aircraft including a Typhoon, Chinook and the Black Cats.

The action will be taking place over Falmouth Bay, starting from 2.20pm with the RAF Falcons display team leaping from planes and parachuting down.

The Red Arrows are then scheduled to arrive at around 3pm for a display lasting roughly half an hour – although if you’re elsewhere in Cornwall you might be lucky enough to get a glimpse on their way to and from the display.

A list of their flight schedule has been published, showing where they will be in the air at what time.

This states that they are due to leave Newquay at 2.50pm, followed by:

2.52pm East of Padstow

2.58pm South East of Blackwater

2.59pm North of Perranwell

3pm Falmouth Bay

The timings and route may, however, change depending on the weather or other factors.
