Residents of northern Powys might get a glimpse of the Red Arrows flying overhead on route to the Isle of Man.
The famed aerobatics display team will be flying from the south west to appear at the Isle of Man TT – and their route will take them close to Welshpool and Llanfyllin.
Their way to the island they will be passing over a number of locations across Powys, Shropshire and North Wales, with Criggion, Llansantffraid and Llanrhaeadr all on the route map.
Taking off from an RAF station in Fairford at 4pm, the planes will take just 25 minutes to reach the Isle of Man, so anyone hoping to get a glance will have to be quick off the mark.
The planes are due to pass Pontesbury, near Shrewsbury, at 4.13pm, before crossing the border and flying over Powys.
From there, the famous jets are due to reach Capel Curig at 4.20pm, then Bangor at 4.20pm, so will be over Wales for a total of approximately nine minutes.
Good luck to anyone looking out for them – and if you manage to catch them on camera do share your shots.
