Red Arrows Forced to Cancel Duxford Air Show Display Due to Operational Factors

The esteemed Red Arrows, who are stationed at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire, were set to be the star attraction of the Duxford Air Show near Cambridge this past Sunday. Regrettably, to the dissatisfaction of an estimated 32,000 spectators, the squad had to abort their performance at the eleventh hour due to ‘operational factors’ at RAF Mildenhall, where they were residing for the afternoon. The Imperial War Museum, the air show’s planners, expressed that while regrettable, such eleventh-hour cancellations are not unusual as aircraft can sometimes face unpredictable issues.
