The Inimitable Late Ray Hannah Short Video

[JohnT]

I had seen the astonishing and funny video of him in a Spitfire giving the late Alain De Cadenet a fright and haircut at the same time as a low flypast but had not seen this compilation in a very short video of him doing the same thing in the Gnat

PS. Not sure the Reds would get that low today or that the powers that be would sanction it either

probably not, but I wonder how much ground effect helps on this?

Still very impressive flying....

Also this one at the first Goodwood revival. He is lower than the roof of the grandstand.

And I spotted one he filmed for an episode of Foyles's War I think - right under a small bridge in a Spitfire

Could be wrong, but I think that the Foyles War sequence was out-take from A piece of cake

The first revival meeting when it was about twenty quid on the gate to get in. I was too busy watching Lord March in his car crossing the start line to see Hanna in the Spit lower than the paddock building! Phenomenal flying
