Just spotted this on the Met Office website when checking the weather. May be worth sticking your head out of the window
if you live on the flight path.

The Red Arrows will fly over Greater Manchester (Image: Getty Images)
People across Greater Manchester may be able to catch a glimpse of the Red Arrows today.
The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team will be spotted in the sky on Friday afternoon as they make their way from their base at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire to Blackpool Airport
And the route they are taking means the flight plan goes over a large part of the region - giving people on the ground a chance to glimpse the distinctive red Hawk trainer jets.
After taking off at 4pm the Red Arrows will fly towards the Peak District and from Glossop towards Oldham. The jets will then fly over Denshaw, Newhey, south of Rochdale town centre, Heywood, Bury town centre, Harwood, north of Bolton town centre, Smithy Bridge, Horwich, Blackrod, Worthington, Standish, Shevington and Parbold before turning towards Skelmersdale and on to Liverpool.
138445321644
They will then land at Blackpool Airport at around 4.30pm.
The full route map is below. You can also view the zoomable map here.

that's correct they did ! they were stationed at Blackpool , but a freak Misty morning around that area meant low visibility ,so they could not take off ! all those across the river at Southport were waiting in blue skies for them to appear ......but obviously they didn't !
