“The name Hanna is synonymous with the art of display flying in fighter aircraft, both historic and modern. Ray Hanna’s leadership of the Red Arrows earned worldwide acclaim and inspired countless young people to become pilots. His legendary Spitfire displays inspired yet more.
Ray taught Mark to fly when he was 16, and Mark went on to become an equally outstandingly talented and highly respected display pilot.
Neither showed off their own exceptional flying skills – they used their exceptional skills to demonstrate the qualities of which ever aircraft they were displaying. They epitomised the art of the display pilot.”
