I watched this program again last night and then found a clip from the end of it on you tube so I just had to share.
It's from an airshow in Canada. I'm feel very lucky and proud to be able to say that I worked on them on 4th line maintenance and my father before me worked on them when they were flying Gnats. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1CJ3NBTu-Y

CHEERS!
| I was stationed in UK for two years and recently moved back to the States. Last summer I had the pleasure of seeing them in Cornwall, I was down seeing my GF and we went out on her balcony. There we watched them perform over Falmouth Harbor. It was amazing. The harbor is surrounded by hills and the plains would actually drop down below the tops of these hills to perform and them pop back up over the hills on the opposite side. I can't remember what holiday it was but was a great way to spend an afternoon and a bottle of wine. |

Quoted:
A while back, They were at a show and a Pilot put my Daugther in the Cockpit and showed her the controls. The pilot told me it was a Folland Knat, never heard of them before. Then he took my Daughter out and flew. They Fly AEROMACCHI's now correct? It was a Folland Gnat as used by the Red Arrows previously 
There's still a couple flying. I worked on these as did my father..I may have some pics if I can get my scanner to work Cheers Taffy |
