Angus is set for a day of aviation action on Wednesday.
The RAF Red Arrows, a Typhoon, a Spitfire and a Hurricane from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight are all due to pass over Angus.
And it will be an 80th anniversary tribute to the people who funded the famous Red Lichtie Spitfire during the Second World War.
The aircraft will be on their way to events in other parts of Scotland.
But Arbroath and Montrose are due to be treated to flypasts.
The Typhoon and Red Arrows will be flying south to north and will make separate passes during the morning.
It will take the jets just minutes to cover the coast between the two towns.
The Second World War aircraft are due over Angus in the afternoon and will be flying from north to south.
And here’s where and when you need to be in position with your eyes on the skies.

The best vantage point will be at Victoria Park.

Local excitement
Gill Howie of Arbroath aviation art firm Squadron Prints is delighted Angus will have the chance to enjoy the brief spectacle.
“This is not an airshow nor an event, there are no facilities laid on nor ground displays or events at Arbroath,” she said.
“These aircraft are flying past in tribute to the town of Arbroath which raised money 80 years ago to buy the Red Lichtie Spitfire.”
In March 1942, the Angus town donated the £5,000 to buy Spitfire EP 121 through the success of the Wings for Victory fundraising campaign.
“We’re sincerely grateful to the Royal Air Force air events team and the Royal Air Force as a whole,” added Gill.
“We have had some many great events here on the east coast.”
The annual RAF Leuchars airshow was a Scottish aviation highlight, but ended some years ago.
“It is certainly a long time since the sound of a Spitfire’s Merlin engine will have been heard over Angus,” said Gill.
“Hopefully people will get to see something of our Royal Air Force and remember and feel proud of the achievements of our proud town so many years ago.”
Montrose Red Lichtie replica
Montrose Air Station Heritage Centre chairman Stuart Archibald says he hopes folk will turn out in celebration of the RAF.
“We have the very important link of the replica Red Lichtie Spitfire on display here at Montrose,” said Stuart.
“These aircrafts flew from Montrose air station during the Second World War so it will be quite a moment to hear the sound of those engines above us again.
“The flypasts will be quite short but we’re hoping people might make a day of it and include a look round the museum between the morning and afternoon events.
“We’ll have a burger van, ice cream and coffee vendor on site so we’re looking forward to welcoming people to the centre.”
