PEOPLE in Flintshire and Wrexham got a rare glimpse of the stunning Red Arrows yesterday afternoon (August 11) as they flew over the region as part of their RAF Valley flypast.
This was part of the RAF's aerobatics team's RAF Shawbury to North Wales, and then to Lincoln, flypast, for the late afternoon and evening on Thursday.
The Red Arrows were seen over parts of Wrexham and Flintshire at around 4.10pm and then again at about 7.10pm.

The Red Arrows are to return to North Wales later this month for the Rhyl Air Show during the bank holiday weekend of August 27-28.
The aircraft will stay at Hawarden Airport overnight, with displays at the show confirmed for both dates.
The show will be backed by a strong RAF presence this year, and as well as the Red Arrows’ appearances, it will also have displays by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and the Grob Tutor.
