EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Folland Gnat T.1 XR540 of the Royal Air Force's Yellowjacks aerobatic display team, taken circa 1964 at RAF Little Rissington. The sleek and agile aircraft, with its distinctive yellow and black livery, was a key part of the renowned No.4 Flying Training School.
The Yellowjacks were known for their precision flying and thrilling displays, captivating audiences with their daring maneuvers in the sky. However, in 1964, the team was disbanded only to be reformed under the Central Flying School as the iconic Red Arrows in 1965.
The Folland Gnat T.1 XR540 itself is a symbol of British aviation history, representing an era when innovation and excellence were paramount in military flight training. Its role within the Yellowjacks showcased not only its capabilities as an aircraft but also highlighted the skill and expertise of its pilots.
This print from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection is a testament to this remarkable period in aviation history, capturing a moment frozen in time when these incredible machines ruled the skies with grace and power. It serves as a reminder of our rich aviation heritage and pays tribute to those who flew these magnificent aircraft with courage and dedication.
