Video showing G009 clip from Ron Gray's film.   This clip was taken from the rear ramp of a USAF C-117.   Dave Clayton was flying as co-pilot and Ron filmed this sitting between the tri-pod legs of the Movietone film crew.   This is the Private Venture, single-seat, proto-type Folland Gnat.   It first flew on 18Jul55.   Six similar aircraft were built and evaluated by the RAF for the fighter role, but this variant was not adopted.   (Thanks to "The Encyclopedia of Aircraft" by Robert Jackson).

There is no sound with this clip.   This clip runs for 28 secs.

(Thanks to Ron Gray for original film.)
