Hanna in amongst the trees 
. I was fortunate to be somewhere near Parham this time last year, a Merlin could be heard in the distance, I immediately headed for open ground, Spitfire flew overhead followed by a victory roll (the Spit, not me). Has the moment passed for this year?

These photographs of Ray in action were sent to me recently by Tony Bailey who took them at the Goodwood Revival Press Day in 2003.

Great man, it was an honor to have known & worked with him. Never to be forgotten,
when I introduced a girlfriend to Ray in GVA at the first EBAS, she lost sight of me, and it cost me more than a couple of beers!
Sqdn Ldr/Capt Hanna, your legend lives on in all our hearts.

Ray flying the KittyHawk in N.Z. early 2004
Plus de 3 ans déjà que tu nous manques, Ray!
I try in English :
...3 years & 3 days already you are heading towards the stars***
(of course with unending barrels and loops...)
we keep you forever in our minds & hearts, Ray!

Thank you for that you tube link,
FANTASTIC - It brought back so many happy memories
Words are not enough but quite simply he was THE BEST along with Mark in my humble opinion, two of a kind, impossible to replace but forever remembered.

Deepest respects
I was also fortunate to be near Parham & paid my respects to Ray & Mark; always remembered & never far away in our thoughts.
God speed Ray & Mark, exceptional Aviators & such lovely guys too, one of a kind & unique in so many ways.
Humblest & deepest respects.

Ah, Ray and Mark Hanna. The most watchable pilots on the Airshow circuit. Always looked forward to their displays with eager anticipation. Still much discussed by us Duxford motor-way end enthusiasts.
