I think this accolade has to be shared by Mark Hanna & Tom Middleton, both sadly no longer with us. Exceptional pilots with that certain je ne sais what. Watching them perform with the Polikarpovs at Wanaka was poetry in motion - sheer bliss.Its great to see Mark featuring so prominently in this thread - a fitting tribute to one of life's special people.And Tom was as happy displaying the heavy metal as he was bouncing round the skies in Biplane Adventures' Tiger Moth or the Pitt's. RIP.

Mark & Ray's display at the inaugural Goodwood Revival meeting was awesome - as was Ray's display in the AFC Spitfire with I think it was Roy Mulqueen in the AFC's newly restored Hurricane at WOW 2000.
