Can't claim to have 'known' either Ray or Mark Hanna, I just met them on the odd occasion. However, I will always remember talking to Mark about the formation of a kind of OFMC 'supporters club' at a Duxford Airshow sometime around the summer of 1996. During our conversation Ray was displaying '434' - he flew down the crowd line before pulling up into an impressive steep climbing turn. Both Mark and I paused to watch man and machine in all their glory, then Mark turned to me again and -with obvious pride and a huge grin on his face- said, "He's not bad for nearly 70 is he!"
Both sadly missed....RIP
