Red Arrows to fly at Teignmouth Airshow in July
- Published
The RAF Red Arrows are set to fly at Teignmouth Airshow, in Devon.
Run by a team of volunteers, the airshow will take place on Saturday 6 July.
Bosses confirmed the airshow would include the Red Arrows, RAF Typhoon and RAF Lancaster.
They added the event - which was founded in 2019 - attracted about 30,000 visitors each year and was a "highlight in the local calendar".
'Unforgettable memories'
Volunteer chairman, Dave Matthews, said: "I'm blown away that we've managed to secure them [Red Arrows] for a third year running.
"We never dreamt that this would have been possible when our volunteers began this journey... I'm over the moon that Teignmouth will once again be a display location."
David Cook, volunteer accounts director, said: "Operating costs are expected to be in the region of £90,000 to host the four-day event, of which £40,000 goes towards the aircraft displays which provide unforgettable memories for locals and visitors alike.
"At this current time we are still short of the overall target needed so the committee is working hard to secure additional event sponsorship and funding".
