Why buy the Gnat?
Possibly to keep Folland in business or maybe they were cheap! I'm just glad they did. The view from the cockpit was much better than in the T7 and the instructor was in the back!! Always a bonus in those days!
It was a delight to fly with great avionics for its day!
A Tac dive to point Alpha made life easy but low level down the A5 pass was more fun!!!!
Those were the days!!!
