The RAF's Red Arrows aerobatic display team will be putting on a show for the public at this year's RAF Cosford Air Show.

The air show announced the Red Arrows would return on 9 June, performing a brand new display in the skies above Cosford.

It will form part of their 60th Diamond Season celebrations.

Last year, a capacity crowd of 55,000 people attended the air show and organisers are promising more excitement this year.

After forming in 1964, the Red Arrows have performed almost 5,000 shows in over 57 countries.

They are celebrating their 60th Diamond Anniversary this year with a new nine-aircraft display.

Squadron Leader Chris Wilson said he was "so pleased" to confirm the Red Arrows; attendance at Cosford.

"As a crowd favourite, the Red Arrows always thrill audiences with their jaw-dropping displays," he said.

"Performing in their brand new livery for 2024, the Red Arrows' display routine will feature manoeuvres not seen for a generation.

"It's exciting that the display team will be back as a nine-ship display this year, performing the Red Arrows' trademark Diamond Nine formation in their diamond year, bringing back an iconic shape not seen since 2021.

"We can't wait for audiences to experience this very special display and we're looking forward to welcoming the Red Arrows' to Cosford again this year."
