The world-famous Red Arrows display team will be using Hawarden Airport as a base for their Rhyl Air Show displays this weekend.

It will be the Reds first visit the airfield – next to Airbus Broughton – for some time as they use it for an overnight stop.

On Saturday, the team will arrive at 1.50 pm and then depart again at 4.50pm for their first performance of the weekend above Rhyl seafront.,

The Red Arrows will arrive back at Hawarden Airport at 5.30pm for an overnight stop.

Sunday, the team will leave at 4.30pm for their second performance at Rhyl airshow, arriving back at Hawarden at 5.10pm.
