In Touch with Space Space Craft in Gisborne

The display of the Gemini XII space craft in New Zealand was organised by the Masterton Lions Club. It is touring the country and a percentage of the takings goes to each Lions Club, where the craft is displayed, for charitable distribution.

Gemini XII was the last craft used in space before the present Apollo programme which led to the landings on the moon.
