Final chance to see the Red Arrows over Shropshire and Staffordshire after air show display
After taking a star turn at the Cosford Air Show there will be one final chance to see the Red Arrows as they return to base.
The iconic red jets will fly over Shropshire and Staffordshire on Monday evening after a weekend spent mainly in the West Midlands.
A week after they flew over the Severn Valley Railway, the display team returned to the region on Saturday afternoon, staying over at RAF Shawbury in Shropshire in order to make their traditional appearance over RAF Cosford and the gathered crowds on Sunday.
Following their display, the team spent another night at RAF Shawbury before they fly back to base on Monday.
The planes will take off from RAF Shawbury and fly east before turning north east and heading north of the likes of Newport and Stafford as they make their way back to their base at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire.
Monday evening's route, can be seen in orange on the map below.
The shortest route by car is 117 miles and takes around two-and-a-half hours, however the Red Arrows are expected to take just 14 minutes to fly almost the width of England.
The timings are:
524737N 0024005W RAF SHAWBURY (EGOS) - 6.20pm
524737N 0022844W N OF TIBBERTON - 6.22pm
