This Gnat is on display outside the Red Arrows' hangar at their base at RAF Scampton. In fact, this particular aircraft never flew with the Team, serving between 1963 and 1975 at RAF Valley in Anglesey. Following a hard landing at Valley it was declared a write off, since which time it has been a gate guard and symbol of times gone by at the RAFAT HQ. Behind and to the left an aircraft tug is also painted in the team colours.

Now an internal exhibit at RAF Scampton's Heritage Centre hangar, this old Red Arrows Gnat is a great reminder of the Reds in the old days
