Linton GIN / Jet Provost aerobatic footage on YouTube

[stevew62]

Hi Guys,

I just added a couple of my fathers Cine films that I just had digitalized, to YouTube. These feature the Jet Provost aerobatic group Linton GIN in 1969.

The first is of a reasonable quality & shows the team taking off, landing & practicing their routine. A large part of the film is in-flight footage, which I find quite impressive, but I'm amazed they landed so close to each other. I guess my father cut this film together.

Here's the Link => YouTube - Linton GIN 1969 Jet Provost aerobatic training flight - lots of in flight shots


The second features mostly ground shots ( some are terrible ), Some aren't too bad. Unfortunately the best quality shots are of the planes taxying back to the hangar at the end of the film.

Here's the Link => YouTube - Linton GIN outcuts - poor quality


Again I added some music to the films. It won't be to everyones taste, but is the same length as the films.


Finally, since you're reading this thread, I assume you like JP's .....

here's another YouTube video that I found, this time featuring the Red Pelicans. I have nothing to do with this film, but it compliments the Linton GIN films really well => YouTube - Red Pelicans


All the Best

Only flew the JP as a student, but a great nostalgia trip nevertheless. Formation later in the Gnat was nightmare - my QFI was ex a couple of aerobatic terams, and he made it look so EASY, and I made it look so bad! I have some 35mm slides somewher of a JP 56-ship formation practice at Cranwell in about 1964/5 (practice for a graduation, I think) I flew with Ron Gillam and got some great pics. Will try and find them.

Hi Sandy,

Bill has already sent me a copy of his photo, it's from the 69 season & doesn't feature you. However Paul Wrigglesworth has been in touch & sent me a scan of the picture below

I have used these pictures on the groundcrew page => http://www.linton-gin.com/groundcrew.html

Here's a small version



Follow the link above for more info & a larger version of the pic.

Do you have any photos / memorabilia from this period ?

I'll send you an E-mail / PM ( Private Message )

All the Best
Steve
