Seeing the Red Arrows around Cleethorpes

Being on the home county’s coast, Cleethorpes benefits from short transits from RAF Waddington, and the open Humber estuary gives the team plenty of display airspace.

Common viewing spots

The promenade and the wide beach toward Humberston give uninterrupted sightlines out to sea where displays are flown. Arrive early on event days — the seafront fills quickly.

📍 RAF Waddington is around 35 miles south-west.
