About the Folland Gnat T.1:

The diminutive Folland Gnat was originally developed as a light and affordable jet fighter, but went on to be used extensively by the Royal Air Force as an advanced fast jet training aircraft. Entering RAF service in 1959, the Gnat was responsible for training many hundreds of future fast jet pilots during its 20-year service career. The aircraft gained worldwide fame as the mount of the RAF Red Arrows aerobatic display team from 1965 to 1979, where its compact size, exceptional maneuverability, and nimble handling made it perfect for tight formation flying. The Gnat's distinctive small size, swept wings, and bright red Red Arrows livery made it one of the most recognizable training aircraft of the Cold War era.
