steppenwolf Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Did you see that oil leak from the right hand bank cylinder 3? That could have ruined his shirt Quote
StuartMackay Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 I think the poor victim is Alain de Cadenet? Quote
Tigger Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 Bejesus, that's lower than low. Had to watch it 3-4 times and laughed each time. Very good Tigger Quote
chazpowerslide Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 Ray Hannah is without a doubt "the" most respected pilot of war birds, co founder of the The Old Flying Machine Company (based at Duxford) and all round nice guy. A couple of years ago at the (Goodwood Revival) to commerate Lord March's birthday Ray Hannah "buzzed" the pit side of the of the main straight at the circuit in a MK9 Spitfire. Lord March and assorted VIPs were standing atop the pit buildings for ray's fly past which was done at about 300mph and 20 feet up. All the 10-15 VIPs on top of the pit buildings hit the deck as he came over, god was it fast and loud. My father and I were directly opposite in front of the main stand (which stands on top of a 6' earth bank) when he came over, he was so low that some of flags were literally torn appart, not only did we feel the propwash after he went past I could also see the prop ends on the approach which were no more than a foot above the flagpoles on top of the pit buildings. It was one of the most awesom things I've ever seen. Chaz. Quote
Boomy Posted November 20, 2005 Author Posted November 20, 2005 That sounds amazing, if only there were a video of that! Quote
Barry Ashcroft Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Not Ray Hannah but some impressive low flying Quote
