    Together at last with Mark and all the other great, brave and legendary pilots, I never met Ray but always felt privilaged to watch him fly and indeed Mark as well, my sincere best wishes and blessings I send to all Rays friends and family. Thanks Ray and 434 for some great memories which I will treasure forever.

    personally my abiding memory from this year will be at duxford, Sunday 11th September in the fog and drizzle watching all our brave “boys ” processing around Duxford in the various forms of army transport, and with the eerie drizzle and low cloud covered line of Spits and Hurri’s lurking in a row on the airfield behind them, even though we saw no flying to speak of apart from the chinook and auster, it was a magical event.
    also after having read Peter Vachers book, seeing his Hurricane fly was rather splendid too.
