THE famous Red Arrows are set to fly in the skies near Wyre Forest later today (May 31) on their way to the Midlands Air Festival.

The RAF planes will be flying over Worcestershire on their journey to the annual three-day show at Ragley Hall in Alcester.

According to military-airshows.co.uk, the Red Arrows will be flying near Stourport sometime between 5.25pm and 5.28pm.

The planes are scheduled to arrive at the show at 5.30pm.

Midlands Air Festival takes place at Ragley Hall in Alcester, Warwickshire, from Friday to Sunday (May 31 to June 2). It features nightfire, air displays and hot air balloon launches.

Trevor Graham, the festival's director of aviation, said: "This year’s show could not get much better, with the Red Arrows celebrating their 60th anniversary with us on all three days of the festival, some rare and exciting aircraft from the world renown Flying Bulls collection in Austria, classic fighter jets from France and Sweden plus masses of UK favourites and a massive array of hot air balloons."

Tickets for the festival, running for three days, are available with discounts for multiple-day bookings.
