RIP Ray, gone but never forgotten.

I remember when MH434 was being reassembled in our hangar (BEA Airtours) at LGW. Got to be re-acquainted with Ray as I'd first met at Biggin when we hosted the team in our hospitality tent (BUA). The guys would always visit when in the LGW area.

When he air tested 434 I watched from our car park abeam the runway, if that was an air test, well a full display practice was more like it. ATC let him rip as very little traffic.

Later knew Ray when he was with Jet Aviation, a really great chap to work with and know.


P.O. John G. Magee's "High Flight" always came to mind when watching Ray fly. A true great of greats.
