Linton GIN Jet Provost team

In the mid-60s, No.1 FTS at Linton-on-Ouse formed a Jet Provost aerobatic team called “GIN Four”, which became “Linton GIN” by 1969. Apparently the name was formed from the initials of three founder pilots and doesn’t have any alcoholic connection! Does anyone know the names of those pilots that formed the initials GIN, or any other info on this team. I only saw them once, perform at Upper Heyford in 1969.

That’s very thoughtful of you – thanks. I have an unsigned version of this.
