Airfix 1:48 Folland Gnat

[Guest]

Really nice build and superbly finished too! I have a soft spot for the Gnat. I live near RAF Valley and remember spending days nearby watching Gnats and Hunters all day long. I also have a photo of me taken in a Gnat during one of their open days.
Cheers

Thanks for commenting Dave,
I've only seen Gnats more recently at air shows. I grew up on a diet of Hawks (and some other interesting things) at RAE Llanbedr when on holiday there as a lad.

We've stayed at the campsite at the end of the runway about ten years ago. Not much activity by then apart from a few Hawks beating the place up on their way down to the west Wales gunnery ranges.
