It’s the first of several Red Arrow displays set to take place over the course of the festival, meaning festivals-goers and locals alike will be treated to a glimpse of the RAF’s most talented pilots over the weekend. Entering West Sussex via Hampshire, flying over Havant and Funtington before setting off for Goodwood. After that, the RAF’s elite stunt team will head towards Arundel, then fly over Littlehampton and Selse on the way back to Bournemouth.
Thursday’s display took place from 11.45am, but Friday’s is set for 1pm, and Sunday’s is due to start at 12.20. So locals not attending the festival itself are still likely to catch a glimpse of the jets as they swirl overhead, a trail of red, white and blue in their wake.
