Built in 1963, this Gnat flew most of its career with 4 FTS at RAF Valley, although it also spent a short period with the CFS. In April 1977 it was taken out of service at Valley and used for spares to maintain the active Gnat fleet. At the end of that year 1977, allocated 8578M, it was placed on display on the station. Replaced by a Hunter, she arrived at Newark during December 2000 and was fully restored

On display at IAF Museum Palam. This Ajeet wears the emblem of No. 2 Sqn "Winged Arrows," which flew the fighter from1983-91. Successor to the battle-tested Gnat across two Indo-Pak wars, the equally diminutive Ajeet had a 22 feet wingspan, making it hard to spot. The dimensions were unchanged but several much-needed improvements to the Gnat were incorporated, resulting in a slightly heavier empty weight of 2,360 kg. The gun camera mount can be seen under the nose. The wheel track is a mere 5 feet. With just 89 built or updated by HAL, the Ajeet was effective in the ground-attack role.
