The RAF's Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, are set to make an appearance this summer as part of the Teignmouth Airshow.

The Red Arrows are set to fly over the town on Saturday 2 July.

The first Teignmouth Airshow was held in 2019, and was subsequently cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

This year, the free event is back - and its volunteer committee is looking for donations.

A spokesperson wrote: "Unlike other airshows, Teignmouth is unique in that it is not backed by council funding, nor does it have a business that generates its profit through ticket sales.

"Instead, Teignmouth Airshow is self-funded through grants, donations, sponsors and fundraising events. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances of the last two years, all fundraising events have had to be cancelled, leaving a massive dent in funding.

"The lack of fundraising opportunities now means that the committee are asking for the public's help to bring the world-renowned RAF Red Arrows to Teignmouth."
