The Red Arrows will fly over Douglas bay at 2.30pm on what is being called the Super Manx bank holiday weekend, created for the second year by moving the TT's senior race day.

Their annual appearance at the Blackpool Airshow will have to wait however, since the Blackpool Airshow was cancelled for 2021 due to ongoing uncertainty about the coronavirus pandemic and the gathering of large crowds.

Next year, the event is back on the schedule and pencilled in for August 6 and 7.
