YOU will be able to see the famous Red Arrows in the skies above Cheshire this weekend.

The Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, is the aerobatics display team of the Royal Air Force.

They will twice perform a fly-past in the county as they return to the north west for Southport Air Show this weekend, on Saturday and Sunday.

On Saturday, the planes will leave the Speke area at 4.50pm heading south towards Chester, before turning to fly over Winsford and Northwich.

The planes will be visible above Warrington at around 4.56pm before heading towards Southport and back to Speke.

The same route will again be taken on Sunday, with planes leaving Speke at 4.20pm, reaching Chester at 4.22pm, Winsford at 4.24pm and Warrington at 4.26pm.

With Red Arrows as the main attraction, Southport Air Show is a highly-anticipated event that attracts thousands of aviation lovers and visitors each year.

Due to wet weather, the Southport performance was cancelled at the last minute last year.

Although there were also logistical issues with last year's event, the air show still went ahead without the Arrows.

With organisers insisting that improvements have been made, the famous planes will return to Southport tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday.

Following the disappointment of last year's Red Arrows cancellation, 'Visit Southport' said it is confident that the event will be run more smoothly this year.

The tourist website states that organisers have more control over plane timings while improvements in staffing, entrances, and traffic management are reported to have been made.

A statement on 'Visit Southport' reads: "We sincerely apologise for some of the problems that occurred during the 2023 Air Show.

"We acknowledge that there were some logistical issues that impacted the event. We understand the disappointment experienced by some attendees.

"We listened to your feedback and we have taken action. The logistics for Southport Air Show have been improved for this year, with changes to traffic management and entry into the event."

Several flights are planned to fly over Southport over the weekend, including the RAF Red Arrows, RAF Typhoon, RAF Tutor, Rich Goodwin Pitts, Rolls Royce Spitfire, Wingwalkers, Starlings, and more.
