Air Display Takes To Guernsey Skies

Guernsey's air show is back, with the RAF Red Arrows among the aircraft scheduled to fly over the Bailiwick.

Many islanders will be headed to St Peter Port to get good views of the different displays along the coast to the north and south of town.

A full schedule of aircraft are taking to the island's skies.  The timetable is subject to change, but is currently:

11.05am  The Blades

11.22am  P8 Poseidon

11.32am  RAF Chinook

11.49am  RAF Typhoon

12.00pm  Muscle Biplane 

12.14pm  Spitfire

12.30pm  The Starlings

12.47pm  RAF Red Arrows

Due to forecasted conditions, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight will no longer be part of the line up.

Air Display Director Barry Neal has been telling Island FM where the best views will be and how people can get involved.

"Obviously, St Peter Port itself and along the coast to the north and south of St Peter Port - they will be the best opportunities to see the display. But if they truly want to get involved, then there are several methods of becoming friends of the Guernsey Air Display.

"We all know, from a public perspective, the Red Arrows are the ones they want to see. They're already in Jersey."

Mr Neal is asking islanders not to fly drones today.

"One thing I would put out strongly is if there is any drone activity at all anywhere within the Bailiwick, then I have no alternative but to suspend the Air Display immediately."
