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?

Pure class! Exactly the kind of memories I have of Sqd Ldr Hanna :D

RAY HANNA 80th. BIRTHDAY REMEMBRANCE 28-08-28
 

For Ray

Have just completed a 'wing-walk' to commemorate this special day for a special man and exceptional pilot.

( feel Ray would be highly amused !! ) ....... and the sun shone ..



from a wind blown hp25 !

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.

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!

Found this on YouTube

Thank you for that you tube link, :D

FANTASTIC :D - It brought back so many happy memories :D

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.

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.

What a fitting tribute, many thanks F.L for posting the link.

Just been watching the DVD Piece of Cake.

Thanks to the various pilots for flying sequences.
