It was a 50's design and was the main, fast jet trainer for the RAF, until the advent of
the Hawk . However, not all pilots could fit into it and the Hunter trainers were used for
such pilots . It's most remarkable feature was its rate of roll, at 400 degrees per
second !

I met a Chieffie at Halton that cursed Gnats mainly because you had to take the whole rear
fuselage off to do an engine change. The display team was called the Yellowjacks.
