UK restrictions as Red Arrows set for King Charles birthday

A number of sky measures are being put in place for the King’s Birthday flypast in a week’s time on Saturday, June 13.

The traditional event sees a number of aircraft, including the Red Arrows, Chinook helicopters and historic planes, flying over Buckingham Palace as the Royal Family watches on from the building’s famous balcony.

These planned restrictions come as the iconic Red Arrows team is set to fly over the UK Formula 1 track, Silverstone, later today (Saturday, June 6).

This is for the Gassed on Track event and at one point, the famous planes will fly over the village of Middleton Cheney, where Spice Girl Geri Halliwell and F1 star Christian Horner live.
