Folland's little revolutionary: the Gnat
Introduction: The Gnat was Folland's brave attempt
at turning the tide against bigger, more powerful and more expensive fighters,
and for a long time was the world's smallest ever jet fighter. Despite
its tiny size, the Folland Gnat performed surprisingly well - in training
pilots, in aerobatics, and in aerial combat. And it was the Gnat, with
its outstanding manoeuvrability, that became the first mount for the original
Red Arrows, later to become the world's most famous aerobatic team.
