Re: By Gemini !
I worked at Fairoaks in 1960/61, and I well remember a Gemini in the hangar for a very long time. I was told that it belonged to Douglas Bader, and although I saw him at the airfield on several occasions, I never saw him fly it. If my memory serves me correctly, it was dark blue with white stripes. Can't remember the reg.

Re: By Gemini !
I found this shot surrounding an article about Douglas Bader at the museum so I guess this was his..

Re: By Gemini !
Great information Chaps !
And an even greater photo of the great man himself in the very aircraft !. Now I can start searching for anything else to be learnt about the colour scheme. If I can get enough then I feel a 'Bader version' being included !
Cheers

Re: By Gemini !
Yes indeed Ian. Tks for that There are two shots in the vicinity of the Bader article and I couldn't say hand on heart if AMGF had been the one they were refering to.. more an intuitive guess. Pity Shell didn't see fit to put their logo on it. That'd have made it much easier
