THE majestic Red Arrows have flown into Bournemouth Airport on the same weekend a fun day was held in their honour.

The Reds arrived on Sunday afternoon after flying from Luxeuil-les-Bains in France, before leaving and then returning after a display at Goodwood Festival of Speed.

They will be stationed at the airport overnight before leaving the area at 12.45pm on Monday to arrive in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis for 2pm ready for an aerobatic display later that day.

On Saturday, Dorset residents were invited to the Bournemouth Aviation Museum and Bournemouth Red Arrows Association Fun Day.

Entertainment during the fun day included a tombola, stalls, bouncy castle and an open cockpit of the Vulcan at Bournemouth Aviation Museum, in aid of The Jon Egging Trust. The charity was set up in memory of the Red Arrows pilot who sadly died during Bournemouth Air Festival in 2011.

Terry Trevett, chairman of the Bournemouth Red Arrows Association, said: "We are trying to make sure that the memory of the Red Arrow, Jon Egging, is not forgotten.

"The aim of the day is to perpetuate the memory of a very good friend and to try and raise some funds for The Jon Egging Trust."
