Originally designed as a lightweight fighter, the Gnat in its two-seater training form became the RAF Red Arrows' aerobatic aircraft, recognized across the world by its distinctive red livery.
The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team (RAFAT), the formal name of the Red Arrows, began life at RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire in 1965. Initially, there were seven display pilots and ten Gnat jet trainers. The name Red Arrows was chosen to combine the appeal and expertise of two earlier teams, the Black Arrows and the Red Pelicans.
