Ray Hannah - Low Flying "par excellance".....

At the risk of thread drift as this is not about an F4, the most memorable solo display I have ever seen was of Ray Hannah in a Spitfire whilst a "stude" at Linton in 1979. He flew over the grass beteen the pan and the runway with about half a prop diameter's clearance ( 4-5 feet?) and I know that there's a photo to proove it! Not mine I'm afraid but I shall try and get a copy and post it here..... Ian A have you still got it?

At the time I didn't know who Ray Hannah was, but the instructors all did and thankfully got us all out of the 2 Sqn crew room to watch. Happy days indeed.
