CROWD favourites the Red Arrows will be displaying on every day of this year's Bournemouth Air Festival.

In a repeat of last year's event, the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team will take to the skies over Bournemouth and Poole for the four-day spectacular.

The Bournemouth Air Festival is scheduled to take place from Thursday, September 1, to Sunday, September 4.

In a packed summer flying scheduled, the performances over the south coast are due to be one of 32 events attended by the Red Arrows this summer.

Details on the team's new display for 2022 will be revealed after it is approved by the Public Display Authority, which usually takes place in May.



The Red Arrows were the star attraction of the 2021 Bournemouth Air Festival, which overcame challenges posed by the pandemic to take place after not happening in 2020.

Organisers said 800,000 people flocked to the conurbation for last year's event and another bumper turnout is expected this time around.
