Exact Black Country locations to see the Red Arrows before Cosford Air Show - including Wolverhampton

Residents across the Black Country will have the chance to see the Red Arrows overhead on Sunday as the world‑famous display team heads back to base from the Cosford Air Show.

The RAF aerobatic team will sweep in from the East Midlands before performing their full display at RAF Cosford at 3pm - and their route back to base means several Black Country communities will get a clear view as the jets thunder past.

Based on the official flight plan, the Red Arrows will enter the region shortly after 3.20pm, past Perton and Lower Penn before turning towards Wolverhampton.

Below is a breakdown of the most reliable vantage points for Black Country spotters.

North of Wombourne - 3.21pm

After the display at the Cosford Air Show, the jets will leave Shropshire and head southeast towards Wombourne.

Residents in Pattingham will have a chance to spot them in the skies to the east of the village.

The route then takes the jets over the city, passing the northern edge of Wednesfield and Bloxwich.
