In the days of the last century (mid-late 70's, empire still in living memory, Vulcans in Cyprus) the Hawk was very shiny and barely run in. The Gnat was the purist machine of choice.
The story goes of a Gnat 4-ship returning for a break: QFI in #4, stoods in 1,2 & 3
500', 420kts, nice and tight lads, watch the spacing round the corner, 2 second break on my call, and remember - snap roll and 4 g turn for plane spotters symmetry.
What happens?
Break break - go - #1 - roll and pull; #2 - roll and pull; #3 pull and roll ; QFI roll and pull while struggling to see altitood gaining stood!
4 minutes later a mysterious gnat rejoined from the overhead, and a 4 ship did an absent friend finals!
trouble is, never actually met the jock: I suspect everyone tried that at some time!
