The Red Arrows were tracked over North Wales on Tuesday, June 9, before landing at RAF Valley shortly before 2.30pm, in a flight path that drew attention across Eryri and the Conwy coast.
FlightRadar24 picked up the Red Arrows flight path as the team moved across the region, with one of their planes leaving RAF Valley on Anglesey at 1.30pm and the main display team departing RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire shortly before 2pm. The timing shows the aircraft were not all operating from the same place at the same moment, even as the formation’s movements were being followed live.
The route over Eryri towards RAF Valley gave people in North Wales a clear view of the Reds on a Tuesday afternoon, and it was their second visit to the area in a week. Last week, the team stopped over at RAF Valley ahead of their display at the Isle of Man TT event, linking this pass to a run of repeated appearances in the region.
What remains unanswered is which specific aircraft were involved in the North Wales leg of the trip. The tracking confirms the movement and the landing, but not the identity of every plane in the formation, leaving the red arrows flight path partly mapped and partly open to the kind of detail aircraft watchers will keep checking.
