I knew they were, and then forgot they were, and have just seen this and am now annoyed with myself because I missed them!!! 
Cheers for the heads-up though!

(Some mates and I used to use it as a chat-up line when we were out in Bath at the world’s greatest nightclub (Moles) - we’d tell birds we were in the Red Arrows as an ice breaker. Worked better than you’d expect tbh!)

I actually know a bloke who was in the Red Arrows . I think they were flying Folland Gnats at the time . When he left the RAF he became a pilot for Virgin . I think he is retired know .

I nipped over to Brown Edge where they were "guaranteed" to go over this evening, no show...

Yes, sorry, me and the chaps stopped off for a nice bit of scran at a private airfield outside Malpas. Bit too squiffy to fly now old bean!

Turns out they went over my lad’s footy training at 19.17 (on schedule) in Crewe - must have crashed before they reached you @eggsarascal?!…

Done a sharper right handed than expected?

They flew over us twice about four weeks back. They were pretty low, see the pilots clear as day

I got a couple pics with my camera when passing Brize Norton the other week.

I've never seen them live.
