- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

The Folland/ Hawker Siddeley/Hindustan Sea Gnat

Hawker Siddeley bought Folland Aircraft, and produced a hooked variant of the Gnat trainer. This was used by 764 Sqn , FAA to train British and foreign students at Lossiemouth (HMS Fulmar)
Sea Gnat 764 Sqn. FAA by Glenn Gilbertson, on Flickr

In 1964 the Lossiemouth instructors heard that the RAF was forming an aerobatic team called the Yellowjacks; not to be outdone, they formed the Fulmar Five , with the aircraft sprayed gold and proudly displaying the Fleet Air Arm badge on the underside.

Despite their fine flying, (like the Yellowjacks) it was found that the gold colour did not stand out sufficiently, so in 1965 the team decided to copy the 738 Sqn Red Devils scheme of 1957. Inevitably the team became known as the Red Admirals. The Navy insist that the RAF Red Arrows were nothing but copycats, but the RAF are equally certain that they thought of red first.

Hawker Siddeley developed the twin-engined, supersonic Gnat Mark 5, which enjoyed some export success. A navalised version was procured for the Centaurs, and sold to Australia, Brazil, Canada and the Netherlands.
