I think you're right that Boeing would have a non-starter on its hands but
the Ajeet is another example of a (for the time) high performance fighter
not adopted by the originating country that was very successful in India.
The Folland Gnat was designed with much the same philosphy of simplicity
that Ed Heineman used on the A-4, making it attractive for a third world
country with aspirations.



Although the Gnat F1 didnt enter service with the RAF the
trainer T1 WAS adopted and served as an advanced trainer
between 1962 and 1978 . The Red Arrows used to use them
before they adopted the BAE Hawk IRC
