Red One
Please excuse the lateness of this tribute, but I have only just discovered thise site.
I have been a lifelong lover of all things aeronautical, but never managed to aspire to the ultimate and fly myself. However, I think that through Ray and his wonderful displays, especially those wonderful trips down into the valley at Biggin, I managed to do just that.
Ever since the his days with the Reds I have admired and wondered at the skill with which he performed.
Thanks, Ray, RIP, you will forever be Red One.
