1970's RAF Aerobatics films on YouTube

Hi Guys,

I’m still searching for Info on Linton Gin & The Linton Blades.

During my search I recently bought some 8mm films off eBay. I have loaded them onto YouTube

The Blue Chips =>

Chipmunks from Church Fenton – Clearly from 1972 as this was the only year with 1 RAF & 1 Navy Pilot

The Red Pelicans =>

Jet Provosts from Little Risssington – Probably 1972 ( Most others seem to be ’72 ) due to the inclusion of Capt R. Lord ( USAF ) , he was also a member of the ’73 team so there’s a chance the film is from ’73

The Poachers =>

Jet Provosts from RAF College, Cranwell . In this case I have no positive way to identify the year

The Macaws =>

Jet Provosts from RAF College of Air Warfare ( Manby ). This time you can clearly see all the memebers of the 1972 team. There is some great inverted flying in this film.

The Gemini Pair =>

Jet Provosts from 3FTS, RAF Leeming In this case I have no positive way to identify the year

The Linton Blades =>

Jet Provosts from 1FTS, Linton on Ouse This time you can clearly see all the members of the 1972 Team.

The Red Arrows =>

Again, sorry, I have no positive way to identify the year.

Enjoy the films.

All the Best
Steve
