Wing Commander Adam Collins, Officer Commanding of the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, speaking ahead of the Red Arrows' summer season, said: “I know many people, including countless families, are already eager to plan which of these events they’ll be going to and we can’t wait to entertain and inspire those watching.
“The 2023 season is one of the busiest in recent years and each show is a great opportunity for the Red Arrows to perform a new display that represents the speed, agility and innovation of the RAF.”

For 2023, the team is carrying out flypasts with nine aircraft while aerobatic displays will be done using an eight-jet formation.
Reasons for this are based on safety and supervision said Wing Commander Collins.
The Officer Commanding added: “The decision to fly an eight-ship is a significant step after a challenging period.
“In the meantime, our entire team of over 140 dedicated personnel is working hard, together, to plan, prepare and perform a new dynamic display routine that will be seen and enjoyed by millions of people."
