The Red Arrows were once based in the Cotswolds

The Red Arrows (officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team) are a staple of British summers and whenever there is a big national event - like royal celebrations - their flybys and air displays delight the crowds.

Initially, the Red Arrows were based at RAF Little Rissington in Gloucestershire, then the Central Flying School (CFS), and in 1966 they moved to RAF Kemble, now known as Cotswold Airport.

In 1983 the Red Arrows moved to RAF Scampton, in Lincolnshire. So no, the Red Arrows are not based in the Cotswolds.
