Notes:

This aircraft was the first of the Gnats to be accepted by the IAF in 1958. It was delivered from the UK in the hold of a Fairchild C-119G. The Gnat earned the reputation of 'Sabre Killer’ after the 1965 and 1971 wars against Pakistan. IE1059 is displayed at the gate of the Indian Air Force Museum, Palam.
