- The Red Arrows aerobatics team is stranded in Canada due to adverse weather conditions, delaying their return to the UK.
- As a result, the team has been forced to withdraw from three upcoming UK summer events: the Eastbourne International Airshow, the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, and Lyme Regis Lifeboat Week.
- The delay is attributed to the Hawk aircraft's limited range and the necessity for specific RAF support aircraft and search-and-rescue cover for the Atlantic crossing.
- Persistent challenging weather in north-east Canada has prevented the multi-leg journey back to the UK, which is now anticipated to begin next week if conditions improve.
- Other RAF aircraft, such as the Typhoon Display Team and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, will still participate in the scheduled events.
