The Red Arrows’ planned flight over North Yorkshire didn’t go ahead as planned today.
To the disappointment of many people looking skywards this morning, the transit flight did not go ahead.
The Red Arrows posted an update at 9.13am today (Monday, 18 March) saying: “You may have seen details, given by some outlets online, about a low-level transit by the Red Arrows across parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire this morning.
“This flight is not taking place due to a change in training priorities and sorties today.”
Here’s hoping it’s rescheduled in the near future.

- 9.53am Vicinity of Brigg
- 9.55am W of North Elkington
