T’was indeed Ray doing the “driving” in his trusty steed,MH434 and it was Alain De Cadanet who had the sh1tes put up him:D.
Rumour had it that the producer kept going for more takes because he reckoned Ray wasn’t getting ‘434 low enough so on that pass he must have thought I’ll give ’em low,save the Duxford grass cutters a job and old De Cadanet a few quid at the barbers while I’m at it.
Seriously though,it really is a great testament to Ray’s superb skills and his full confidence in MH434 to do what he wanted just when he wanted her to do it.

That rumour is entirely untrue, it wasn’t staged at all, Ray was taking off for a display elsewhere and i thought it would be a good idea to film Alain at the end of the runway as he took off, the rest is history!
