Some nice shots there – seems the refurb has come out well.
I love the last shot……lol
Dunno whether it should go into the long standing “How Low Can You Go” thread – or in a new one : “How The Heck Did They See Out Of That?”…. :diablo:
Must admit the silver canopy and windscreen look a whole lot better than a faded perspex look.
To be perfectly honest the pics dont do the paintwork justice and my colours look a bit off,they have done a good job on her ,If you look in the bushes of the second pic you can see a tin of red paint 😀

OK fair enough, so where’s the photo of it then? You are slipping sir, let’s see her as she is now. Just a shame she’s stuck on a pole though.
Lol ,sorry about that , yes I did get pics but it was as the big light in the sky had gone to bed for the night 😀 sooo the pics didnt really do justice to her new look , will goget some better ones asap.

Folland Gnat’s were made at Folland’s factory in Hamble, so i’d imagine that’s why it’s there, I think XM693 was a development aircraft which is why the nose looks shorter, wouldn’t have worn Red Arrows colours but is probably in them because that’s what most people would remember the Gnat for
