There will be no flight training for the Red Arrows for two weeks as an annual pause is brought in before the new flying season.
The Reds will be kept on the ground until November to allow for technical teams to conduct maintenance on the planes.
During this break, the Royal Air Force engineers will strip down the jets, inspect and repair any areas that aren’t usually seen during the flying season.
Training for the new season will restart next month, as the Reds prepare for what is set to be the 57th season for the team.
The break comes in the same month that a new Read Arrows Team Leader was announced, former typhoon jet pilot Tom Bould.
An un-bale-ievable incident in Market Rasen this morning when a lorry carrying straw bales lost some of its load when it crashed in the railway bridge in Market Rasen.
The incident on Main Street happened at 9.30am on Wednesday, October 21 and the road was cleared by 10.50am after help from several locals and a forklift tractor.
Sarah Jane Potts, who runs the nearby Nice and Naughty Cafe and Bistro”, saw the aftermath of the incident and praised locals who came to the rescue.

She told The Lincolnite: “I noticed a lot of traffic building up outside our shop and went outside to have a look.
“I put a shout out on our local Facebook page to tell others to avoid the high street if possible. Unfortunately, the high street was very busy and it caused a lot of disruption for over an hour.
“Locals came out to help divert traffic. Thankfully someone turned up with a forklift tractor and helped pick up all the bales and load the lorry up again.”
Plans for 60 new homes in Washingborough are set to get the go ahead next Wednesday.
North Kesteven District Council officers will recommend approval of HICHSS Homes’ plans for land off Canterbury Drive at the authority’s planning committee meeting.
The site already has outline permission as part of a wider 185-home plan for the area and officers said the principle of development is an “acceptable subject”.
In a report before councillors, officers said: “The scheme would deliver an appropriate form of development which responds positively to the character of the existing adjoining part of the village and which provides a visual and functional relationship with the natural environment through the retention of existing green infrastructure.”
The proposals will see 15 Canterbury Drive demolished in order to create access from the road.
They also include 0.19 hectares of public open space, including a play area.
The new homes will be a mix of two, three and four bed properties and 15 of them will be classed as affordable.

The council has received 28 letters of objection to the plans, with concerns including the density and scale of the development, the loss of privacy, the impact on flood and the impact on the local road network.
The parish council has also objected saying they “do not consider the site is suitable for housing, due to many problems with surface water and localised flooding”.
No other statutory consultees have objected, however.
The developer will be asked to contribute £37,317.50 towards healthcare provision.
