Every part of Wales where you can spot the Red Arrows this weekend and the exact time they will fly

The Red Arrows take to the Welsh skies this weekend as thousands of people flock to The Wales Airshow to watch the show. The huge event is taking place on Saturday and Sunday, with thousands of visitors expected to descend on the city on both days.

Attractions that will wow large crowds include live entertainment and a variety of stalls for people to enjoy. The event will also mark Wales Armed Forces Day on Saturday, with a special Veterans’ Village offering stalls and information from charities that support people in the armed forces locally and nationally.

But the highlight for many will be the sight of the Red Arrows who are celebrating their 60th anniversary this year, having flown almost 5,000 miles in displays across 57 countries. You can get the latest WalesOnline newsletters emailed direct to you for free by signing up here.
