Who are the Red Arrows?
Officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows is one of the world's most well-known aerobatic display teams.
They represent the speed, agility and precision of the Royal Air Force through performing spectacles in the air across the UK, with a large team of pilots, engineers and Hawk-jets on hand for each event.
All Red Arrow display pilots have been flown operationally, in frontline aircraft such as the Typhoon, and helped the Royal Airforce secure the skies every day of the year.

What are the Red Arrows doing in Leeds?
The Red Arrows will be taking to the skies to perform a farewell flypass for 100 Squadron at RAF Leeming in North Yorkshire.
Boasting one of the most iconic badges in the Royal Air Force, 100 Squadron has a proud and distinguished history of aircraft and roles.
It was the last Squadron to land from a combat mission before the Armistice was signed and endured being decimated by Japanese forces in 1942 only to rise again – as from the ashes – by the end of the same year.

Whilst sad to say goodbye to The Boneyard, RAF Leeming in North Yorkshire will mark the occasion in style with multiple flypasts and a parade.
Six RAF Hawk T1s will be taking part in the spectacle and are set to leave their base at RAF Scampton just before 2pm today (24 March).
