The Folland Gnat T.1 served primarily with the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force (RAF) during the Cold War period, from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s. These aircraft were commonly used by the Red Arrows aerobatic display team and for training fighter pilots. Thanks to its lightweight design and excellent flying characteristics, the Gnat T.1 gained recognition among pilots and aviation enthusiasts, participating in air shows and RAF cadet training, among other activities.
