Gnat F.1 E1076 at March, ; John Hamilton
Noted Warbird Collector Dave Talichet had acquired at least five Ajeet airframes through his warbird company Military Aircraft Restoration Corporation (MARC). One of the aircraft was E-1076 which was donated to the March Field Museum for display at the March Air Force Base in California. Initially displayed in IAF plain aluminum finish, this aircraft was repainted in this Red Arrows Scheme, but still carried the IAF Serial number on its fuselage. Of course the Reds never operated F.1s.
By 2016, the paintwork looked rather rough, but it wasn't long until E-1076 would receive a repaint. Today, the aircraft is back wearing IAF colours and is now kept undercover with the canopy open to allow visitors to look at the cockpit.
