In a repeat of last year's event, the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team will take to the skies over Bournemouth and Poole for the four-day spectacular.

The Bournemouth Air Festival is scheduled to take place from Thursday, September 1, to Sunday, September 4.

In a packed summer flying scheduled, the performances over the south coast are due to be one of 32 events attended by the Red Arrows this summer.
