Hello Gentlemen, I have just stumbled across this thread while doing some research on the YellowJacks and Red Arrows….the reason being that I have purchased and am restoring to flight Folland Gnat XR987, originally a YellowJack aircraft and then for 15 years she served with the Red Arrows. I believe Flt Lt Eric Tilsey was her first pilot with the Reds. If anyone is in touch with him perhaps he might be interested in this project? The airplane is now in New Zealand as I purchased her a few years ago in Florida. Please get in touch if you are interested, I have a facebook page and am starting a YouTube channel to document her rebuild which is going well to date.
Kind regards
Nosey
