GEMINI PAIR - 1970's RAF Aerobatics
I recently ( 2018) bought some 8mm Cine films off eBay & this was amongst them.
It shows the 3FTS synchronised Display Team The Gemini Pair performing some of their routine.
Other films include :-Linton Blades ( 1972) , The Blue Chips (1972), The Macaws ( 1972) , The Poachers , The Red Arrows & The Red Pelicans.
Since a couplpe of the other films are definately the 1972 Teams I assume this is also from 1972.
Unfortunately the films are without sound.

My brother who sadly passed away last week belonged to the Gemini Airobatic team. I'm so glad I found this
Hi - I flew as the No 2 in Gemini for the 1971 season and your dad, Ron Pattinson was indeed the Team leader. Rod Sargeant
Just stumbled across this. My dad was the inverted pilot of the gemini pair in the early 1970 / 71 (maybe 72 as well?). I have lots of photos (candid and 'PR' - let me know if you're interested in them) but have never seen moving images of them flying. Outstanding post!
My grandad, John Galyer flew these jets. Have a photo of him flying the jet
My father Henry Prince was a Gemini Team pilot
My father in law Robin Blockey flew as one of the pair will have to check photo for date
