Heard today about the sad news of Rays death. A LEGEND.
I was lucky enough to meet Ray (and Mark) during the 1999 Display season and two more modest and professional aviators one could never meet.
Ray's flying was inspirational. How many kids have seen Ray and his Spitfire, and been compelled to follow a career in aviation.
He will be a very sad loss to the world of aviation and especially display flying. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. I'm sure Mark and Ray are now sat around, catching up on old times and having a right good laugh.
To the Master.
RIP.
