2022 will be the Red Arrows' 58th season, having flown over 5,000 displays in 57 countries since 1965.

All Red Arrows pilots have flown operationally in aircraft such as the Eurofighter Typhoon.

When will it take place?

The Sidmouth Airshow will take place on 26 August, with approximate timings being 5pm to 9pm.

Also confirmed for the airshow are Spitfires from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight operates six Spitfires, two Hurricanes, a Lancaster bomber, two Chipmunk aircraft, and a C47 Dakota - which appeared at the airshow last year.

The Red Arrows and the Spitfires are the aircraft confirmed so far, with further details of timings and aircraft to follow soon.
