The Gnat was designed by William Petter, designer of the English Electric Canberra bomber and Lightning interceptor.

During the Indo-Pakistan War of 1965, Indian Gnats shot down seven Pakistani Sabres, earning the nickname ‘Sabre Slayers.’

The Royal Air Force’s Red Arrows aerobatic team used Folland Gnats from 1964 to 1979.

Gnats were used as fictional naval fighters in the 1991 comedy ‘Hot Shots,’ a parody of the movie ‘Top Gun.’
