In the late seventies Ireland replaced its Vampires with Magisters. The Irish press pointed out that the Vampire had 4 20mm guns and ejection seats, wheras the Magister had 2 7.62mm guns and no ejection seats.
I used to see these regularly at air shows in the seventies. I think it was the French aerobatic team, Patrouille de France. From the same era as the Gnat.

I wonder if we will see a display team of Gnats or Fiat G91's? Be just like old times. Apologies to other display teams from the seventies I did not mention.
