Our illustration shows the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, The Red Arrows, flying past the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, trailing the red, white and blue smoke over the bridge on 1 October.

Currently, The Red Arrows are deployed on Exercise WESTERNHAWK 2019.
According to the Ministry of Defence this is the first time the Red Arrows have been to North America since 2008 and the deployment will be the most ambitious tour of Canada and the United States ever undertaken by the team – going coast-to-coast.
