The famous RAF flight, based at RAF Coninsby in Lincolnshire operates Spitfires, a Hurricane and a Lancaster bomber, as well as a Dakota World War Two transport aircraft.

And it is due to send planes over South Yorkshire twice this weekend, according to its reported schedule.

The first of the two appearances is due to be over Doncaster, today, (Saturday June 13) where it will be flying over Burghwallis. It is reported to be due over between 1.25pm and 1.55pm.

Then the flight is due to return to South Yorkshire, with an appearance over Sheffield on Sunday (June 14). It is reported to be due to fly over the city between 12.20pm and 12.50pm.

The flight does not specify where in Sheffield, but its map appears to indicate it is near Chancet Wood.

In both cases flypasts can be cancelled or times changed at short notice due to poor weather or other requirements, and aircraft will be based on availability.
