This photograph showcases the iconic Miles M.65 Gemini 1A, registration number G-AKHW (msn 6524), as it gracefully rests on the tarmac at RAF Swanton Morley in 1962. The Miles M.65 Gemini 1A, a British-designed and manufactured aircraft, was a versatile and advanced trainer and light transport aircraft that first flew in 1958. The image captures the essence of the early 1960s aviation era, with the sleek and streamlined design of the Gemini 1A standing out against the backdrop of the grey RAF hangar. The aircraft's distinctive markings and livery add to its visual appeal, making it a popular choice among aviation enthusiasts.

It was powered by two Rolls-Royce Dart Mk.312 engines, which provided a top speed of over 200 mph and a range of over 1,200 miles. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when flight was a new and exciting frontier. The Miles M.65 Gemini 1A, with its advanced design and capabilities, represented the future of aviation, and this image serves as a reminder of the important role that RAF Swanton Morley played in shaping the history of British aviation.
