Unfortunately, due to operational reasons, the planned formation flypast involving the RAF Red Arrows and the RAF Harrier at Dunsfold has now been cancelled.
We would like to thank all of the teams who had worked hard to stage this special tribute flypast, but unfortunately due to revised positioning of aircraft on the day, the formation will not now be possible.
