I owe the realisation of my dreams to Ray, Mark and the OFMC. It was a wondeful privilege indeed to sit on his wingtip. Courteous and generous to a fault, with all his friends and employees, I still cannot take on board that he has signed his last Auth Sheet.
His words of encouragement and advice will ring in my ears for evermore and I will always picture the craggy grin under his twinkling eyes which complemented an ultra dry sense of humour.
Duxford has become an emptier place with his passing however, he would not wish that we grieve too long – such was the man. We must remember he would want us to get on with the task in hand and do just that – we owe it to him.
My sincere and heartfelt sympathies to his family.
Thank you Ray for everything.
