Folland Gnat - Agile Jet Fighter Tri-blend T-Shirt

The Folland Gnat is a compact British jet fighter aircraft, renowned for its agility in the sky and its role as a training and light attack aircraft. Entering service in the late 1950s, the Gnat quickly became a favorite for its performance and cost-effectiveness. Notably, it served as the mount for the Royal Air Force's Red Arrows aerobatic team, dazzling audiences with its precision and grace. Beyond its service in the UK, the Gnat was also adopted by several other countries, including India, where it was famously used in combat during the Indo-Pakistani Wars. Its lightweight design, coupled with a powerful engine, made the Gnat a formidable adversary in dogfights, earning it the nickname 'Sabre Slayer' in India. Despite its retirement from frontline service, the Gnat remains a beloved icon of British aviation history, celebrated for its contributions to military and aerobatic flight.
