Additional information

Jersey's 50 pence program has long operated as a vehicle for commemorative issues well beyond the island's domestic needs, and this piece is squarely in that tradition. The Red Arrows have performed over Belfast on several occasions, most notably during major public events tied to Northern Ireland's civic calendar, though the pairing of a Crown Dependency issuer with a Northern Ireland landmark is a bureaucratic curiosity — Jersey has no administrative relationship with Belfast whatsoever.

The RAF Aerobatic Team flies BAE Hawk T1 aircraft burning a mixture of diesel and colored dye for their smoke trails, a detail that tends to surprise people who assume the effect is purely pyrotechnic.
