Who are the Red Arrows and what can we expect?
According to the Red Arrows website, the group is one of the world's "premier aerobatic display teams" and has come to represent the "speed, agility and precision of the Royal Air Force."
The team is known for flying their "distinctive" Hawk fast-jets and is often seen in their "trademark" Diamond Nine formation.
Since their humble beginnings all the way back in 1965, the Red Arrows have also flown in frontline aircraft like the advanced Typhoon.
