Officially called the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows will put on a show for the crowds at Cosford this Sunday (June 8).

The talented team will be joining dozens of other pilots performing at the annual event, including the Great War Display Team with their range of replica First World War aircraft in an exciting dog-fighting routine. 

The RAF Cosford Air Show is now sold out, so for those who haven't managed to snag tickets it's eyes to the sky to try and catch a glimpse of the excitement.

Luckily, the Red Arrows' flight map has now been released, making it a bit easier to predict their whereabouts on the big day.

Below is a timetable of when you should be able to see the iconic red planes on Sunday.
