EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Folland Gnat T.1 XR994 of the Royal Air Force's Yellowjacks aerobatic display team, soaring through the skies above RAF Little Rissington circa 1964. The sleek and agile aircraft, with its distinctive yellow and black livery, was a sight to behold as it performed daring maneuvers in perfect formation.
The Yellowjacks were renowned for their precision flying skills and thrilling aerial displays, captivating audiences wherever they went. Sadly, the team was disbanded in 1964 but would later be reformed under the Central Flying School as the iconic Red Arrows in 1965.
The Folland Gnat T.1 XR994 itself is a true symbol of British aviation history, representing an era when speed and agility were paramount in military training aircraft. Its legacy lives on through its successor, the Red Arrows, who continue to inspire aviation enthusiasts around the world with their breathtaking performances.
This print from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection is not just a snapshot of a bygone era; it is a tribute to the skill and dedication of all those who have served in Britain's esteemed aerobatic display teams throughout history. It serves as a reminder of our rich aviation heritage and the incredible feats that can be achieved when passion meets precision in flight.
