Guernsey Battle of Britain Air Display 2023

The Red Arrows has been confirmed to display once again in Guernsey on 14 September 2023.

Also confirmed this year is a Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. The RAF events team has also allocated the Guernsey display a Tutor, which is used as a training aircraft.

“We are obviously delighted that the Red Arrows and Battle of Britain Memorial Flight have been allocated to display in Guernsey again this year. The allocation of the Lancaster is particularly significant as 2023 marks the 80th anniversary of Operation Chatise, more commonly known as the Dambusters Raid, which was carried out by Avro Lancaster bombers. It will be wonderful to see this iconic plane displaying here in September,’ said Natalie Davidson, Events Consultant at Black Vanilla – organisers of the Guernsey Air Display.

“We are waiting for the result of our application for MOD helicopter assets, which we hope will be released soon. In the meantime, we are in touch with private display teams to build the rest of the display in September.

“The final display line up will be dependent on the level of sponsorship that can be secured.  We have a number of Consortium membership levels as well as a Corporate Friend package people can get involved with. There is also an individual Friends scheme so all members of the community are able to show their support of this much-loved annual event.”
