As far as I was aware the display was today @ 1030L and they flew down from Inverness. The Reds are at Waddington and Bournemouth tomorrow

See what i was told on thursday before that terrible accident was that they were to be flying in after tain and doing a fly-by with the 43sqd flagship gloria finis as a photoshoot to mark the disbandment of 43sqd then they were going to be holding at leuchars for the scottish game fare at perth i maybe got mixed up with it being on sat instead of fri (just what i was told)

After they finished their display at Tain, Red 10(commentator) said that they(Red Arrows) were returning to Inverness. They may have headed to Leuchars later that night as they weren't at Inverness at 0915 on Friday morning which I thought was strange considering the display at Perth was at 1030 and they could cover the distance in 30 mins.

The Reds were in at Leuchars (although I did't see them arrive Thursday night), but for obvious reasons there was no flying from us or 43 Sqn on Friday. However, I did see them depart Friday morning somtime around 1000.

If you had checked the Notams you would have seen several referring to the Reds transiting around. After the display at Tain they would have returned to Inversneckie, refuelled, and were then due to go to Leuchars via Loch Lochy, Rannoch Station, Loch Faskally, in the late evening. I don't know if they actually did this, due to the days events, as I had intended to go and get them there. I did see them pass to the west of Langholm earlier in the day. They didn't display at Perth on the Friday due to poor weather at Leuchars.
