Look to the skies, if you’re local, as the Red Arrows are going to fly over northwest London on Wednesday (31st March).
The route and timings are provisional, so subject to change – but all going well, the Red Arrows will pass over Watford and Uxbridge just after 11am (BST).
Also, note that the turn points on the air traffic notice below are guidance only.
No, I don’t know why they are flying this route, just look to the skies and enjoy.
