The world's most famous aerial display team will be in the skies above Moray later today and tomorrow.
Current flight times should see the Red Arrows pass over RAF Lossiemouth at 2.30pm today and again at 3.14pm.
The scheduled times for Tuesday are 11.52am and 12.36pm.
It's being stated by the RAF that the timings, or even the route taken by the planes, could change due to weather or other commitments.
The Red Arrows were formed in 1965.
It's said that they received their nickname shortly afterwards following a display in France where a journalist described them as "Les Fleches Rouges".
During a display the pilots experience forces up to five times that of gravity.
When performing the aerobatic manoeuvre 'Vixen Break', that rises to seven times which is close to the structural limits of the aircraft.
An RAF spokesperson said: "A formation of aircraft from the Red Arrows will be operating from RAF Lossiemouth this week, flying at the tsation as part of planned pre-season training ahead of the 2024 summer display calendar.
"The team regularly uses other Royal Air Force bases – its usual home is RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire. This helps prepare for a new display season, simulating working from another location – which happens often during a busy summer of events and airshows across the UK.
"Flying times and sortie details vary at short notice due to weather and other factors."
