- Brighton Rock (1948) Gerry was stuck for a baby during the production of the movie and ultimately offered one of his own; his son, Gerald Mitchell, then still less than a year old, appears in the film.
- Within a week of retiring over the licensing disputes following on from ABC's merger with Associated Redfusion to become Thames Television, Gerry found himself walking over Westminster Bridge where he was recognised by a former military colleague who asked him what he was up to. Gerry explained his lack of work and was immediately 'lined up' to work as the Supervisor of the Royal Crown Jewels housed at The Tower, in London, UK.
- In 2007, Gerry Mitchell was posthumously approved for a Grant of Arms by the Earl Marshal who approved a petition when a letter patent from the senior heralds in Royal service, the Kings of Arms at the College of Arms, was signed. It was awarded to his son, Mr Gerald Mitchell and grandson, Mr Lloyd Hobbard-Mitchell, who were also included in the same posthumous representation in petitioning for Arms and Badge.
