Ive always felt the Folland Gnat has huge potencial if only it were scaled up to the size of the Hawker Hunter. As a single seater, its only two competiors in the past would have been the Hawker Hunter and A-4, I think it could be superior to both in a dogfight. In the 2 seat version it would have out performed not only any trainer back then, but I think it would be superior to even the Bae Hawk now. To this day theres a lack of subsonic/transonic light strike fighters. The single seat version of the Hawk is the only one I can think of. I think a scaled up Gnat if built today would sell well in that role.
