Transport yourself to a moment of dazzling heritage on 14 January 2018, where the gleaming Folland Gnat T1 XP516, dressed in vivid Red Arrows livery, rests proudly on the airfield apron. Captured with rich, authentic colour on Fujifilm Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper, this atmospheric 5 7/8 x 4 inch photograph pays homage to one of Britain’s most beloved training and display aircraft — a compact yet spirited machine that thrilled millions with its dynamic aerobatic displays.

This original photograph, previously mounted with a small double-sided tape and kept in decent condition, has passed careful quality control inspection. The Gnat T1, introduced to the Royal Air Force in the 1960s, became synonymous with the early years of the Red Arrows, Britain’s premier aerobatic team. Aircraft such as XP516 hold a special place in aviation history, representing an era of dazzling air shows, technological achievement, and national pride. Authentic, archival photographs of original Red Arrows aircraft are increasingly coveted by serious collectors, historians, and aviation enthusiasts.

To collect and preserve images like this is to protect a vibrant chapter of British aviation excellence. Each genuine piece carries the spirit of innovation, teamwork, and soaring spectacle that defined a golden age of flight. By cherishing such treasures, we ensure that the Red Arrows’ story — and the stories of those who served around them — continue to inspire generations to come.
