A mid air emergency brought the Red Arrows' airshow to a sudden halt on Sunday (August 28). The anticipated display, at the 2022 Rhyl Air Show, was dramatically stopped after reports a bird had struck one of the jets.
The famous flying troupe took to the air at around 4pm on Sunday, jetting off from Hawarden Airport for a display over the seaside town. Eyewitnesses at the scene said they heard a loud 'pop' around mid way into the display before one aircraft broke ranks and headed back towards Hawarden.
The Rhyl Air Shows' announcer then went on to announce what may have happened during the display, according to North Wales Live. The group were bringing Rhyl Air Show 2022 to a close in the skies as hundreds of people looked on before the incident.
