Red Arrows, both days. Yes, both days

This is not a misprint. It is not an error, but it most certainly

is a dream.
The Reds are coming back. This, in itself is seismic for us. They're also, and we're really very more than grateful to the RAF for this, coming back twice in a weekend.
That's forty plus minutes of the most amazing formation flying anywhere on planet Earth, courtesy of the greatest display pilots and some extremely iconic red jets. So it doesn't matter which day you buy your tickets for; the pride of the Nation will be here on both days.
And on both days, they'll be able to perform their full, jaw dropping, legendary display. One benefit to Norfolk is that there's not much airspace; so there's nothing to stop the team using all the height they need to perform such legendary moves as the Hanna Break (the late great Ray Hanna's Spitfire is coming for the 14th time in a row) and Tornado which, well, you'll have to come because it can only be seen to be believed.
We could go on about statistics, but only one counts, nine. We will go on about the team led by Wing Commander Adam Collins - they're the best of the best which is a necessary qualification when you're flying at hundreds of miles per hour feet from each other or, as you'll see, basically heading straight at your team mate at a closing speed of 700mph or more.
It's entirely possible that, in the few short years before 2030 and the retirement of the Hawk, this may be the last chance to see the team in their trusty and very fast steed over mid Norfolk. Hopefully not, but this year we'll be sat once again wondering how we got so lucky and broke through to have one, amazing first; Red Arrows, both days.
Thank you RAF.
