Red Arrows unable to perform at Guernsey Air Display

Due to a technical problem, the RAF jets are unable to fly over Guernsey

The Red Arrows are unable to perform at the Guernsey Air Display because of a technical problem with one jet.

Organisers confirmed the RAF jets were unable to perform, saying it was "disappointing for air display fans".

It said a reduced number of jets impacted the safety of the crew, who were "so disappointed to not display today for Guernsey".

Aircrafts team Raven also could not attend, due to weather conditions, and a Chinook also had technical issues.

Organiser Natalie Davidson earlier said it was great to have the annual event back.

She said the display was about inspiring the next generation.

She added: "Not just the pilots, but also of engineers and people who are going to help that sort of sustainability issue with the aviation industry, developing new fuels and more efficient aircrafts, so there is a whole number of reasons why the air display is important."

The OV-10 Bronco plane is set to attend the event for its first display in Guernsey, alongside the Navy Wings Seafire, the Muscle Biplane and the Mustang.
