Such was the market's positive response to the type that 130 Geminis had been sold within its first year of availability. It would in fact be the last Miles-designed aircraft to attain large scale production. While the company had commenced work on developing a Gemini successor, wider events would derail such ambitions. 42: 514: 469: 491: 1220: 187:, unlike future aircraft that featured a retractable arrangement instead.
