Gnat Boys True Tales from RAF Indian and Finnish Fighter Pilots Who Flew the SingleSeat Training and Fighter Aircraft The Folland Gnat, a single-seat training and fighter aircraft, has had an illustrious career in the skies, serving as the ideal lead-in trainer for high-performance aircraft like the iconic Lightning, the first RAF supersonic fighter. Its use by the famous Yellowjacks formation aerobatic team, the forerunner of the world-famous Red Arrows team, made it a legendary aircraft in aviation history. However, lesser known is the fact that the Gnat was also used as a lightweight fighter by both the Indian and Finnish air forces, with India's version called the 'Ajeet' Midge seeing combat experience in the Indo-Pakistani wars, most notably in the Battle of Boyra. Today, over 60 years since its first flight, several Gnats continue to be operated from North Weald Airfield in Essex by the Heritage Aircraft Trust under the brand the Gnat Display Team.
