“Adrain, the Gnat isn't in service any more so it won't be defending any country. The aircraft in the photo is privately owned.
Which case are you on exactly?”

If we have to recall a squadron of Gnats we really have got a problem. The airshow is not just about the spectators it is also about big business possibly bringing the UK employment opportunities and revenue. If we hadn't sold the Saudi's Hawks they wouldn't be here this weekend.”
