Plane spotters will be able to see military planes as they make their way to Upton Blues Festival between Friday, July 15 and Sunday, July 17.

Upton Blues Festival is celebrating its 20th year with a flypast that includes Spitfire, Lancaster and Hurricane RAF planes.  

The Spitfire and Hurricane will be flying on Friday at 4.29pm and on Saturday the Lancaster bomber will take off at 4.09pm. On Sunday the Hurricane and Spitfire will be flying again at 2.58pm. 

Grahame Bunn, festival chair said: "We have applied to the RAF every year for the last three years, trying to get a flyby over the UBF weekend.

"You just apply to the RAF and hope that they have a display in the near area, or are on route to or from a display.

"Our weekend usually clashes with Fairford Airshow so we are always hopeful they can make a slight detour for us.

"We have always asked for the Red Arrows but have got, in my humble opinion, a much better option, because they will be flying slower and have a better visual feel to them."

Over the jubilee weekend, the world-famous Red Arrows flew over Worcestershire and Cotswolds.  

The Red Arrows were taking part in the Midlands Air Festival at Ragley Hall in Alcester and flew over Worcestershire from Thursday, June 2 and Sunday, June 5. 

Dean Oliver, from Hartlebury, said: "I heard of the flight path on Facebook the other night.
