KARACHI: Despite the blazing sun, the Seaview beach on Thursday afternoon had many people wearing goggles and caps, and looking skywards.
Some of them had also brought umbrellas. And all were waiting for the Red Arrows’ air show.
Said to be the public face of the British Royal Air Force (RAF), the Red Arrows are their aerobatic team known to enthral big crowds with Hawk jets.
The team, comprising pilots, engineers and support staff, are also like goodwill ambassadors for their country. They are in Karachi to celebrate 70 years of friendship between Pakistan and the United Kingdom. Pakistan Air Force enjoys cordial relations with the RAF since the partition of the subcontinent in 1947.
