And they could arrive from behind and fly over the crowd.

They still do arrive from behind the crowd and fly over, dont they ? they certainly do at Bournemouth (or am I missing some joke here)

I still think the Gnat is better looking than the Hawk.

Great shots and lots of memories. The difference between the Hawk and the Gnat is/was, the pilot gets in the Hawk, with the Gnat, the pilot puts it on.

The Gnat was a truly small jet compared to modern types.

Another 'isn't it small' comparison!
And the Gnat is a lot nearer.
Or maybe the Gannet is just Huge?

Crowd-rear arrivals are possible at UK displays providing the team/participant has provided its regulatory authority with a satisfactory safety case.
