Red Arrows to fly over Peterborough en-route to Duxford this weekend - exact route and timings

The famous Red Arrows are set to soar over Peterborough this weekend en-route to an air show in Cambridgeshire.

On Saturday afternoon (September 12), the jets will fly just east of the city en-route to the Duxford Battle of Britain Air Show.

This year’s Duxford Battle of Britain Air Show celebrates 90 years since the Spitfire took to the skies, with other vintage aircraft expected over the two-day event.

On Saturday visitors will enjoy a performance from the iconic Red Arrows, as the team’s 2026 summer season draws to a close.

The following day (Sunday, September 13), the team will conduct a flypast at the Great North Run.

Earlier this summer the Arrows spent several weeks in the USA, marking 250 years of American independence.
