    DfE asked for details about Red Arrows CO2 emissions

    The Department for Enterprise says a half-hour show by the Red Arrows is the greenhouse gas equivalent of driving around 125,000 miles in a Ford Fiesta.

    A Freedom of Information request to the department asked for details about the emissions from the RAF display team during TT.

    In its response, the department said 2023 figures showed a half-hour show by eight planes produced 26,194 kilos of CO2 - but noted the TT show doesn't last half an hour.

    A five-door Ford Fiesta produces around 130 grams of CO2 per kilometre.
