Totally top chap.Met him and his God of a Dad at Duxford and Bruntingthorpe on a few occasions ( Not wishing to name drop) Such lovely people and there will never be replacements ever for these guys. MH434 =Ray. I hope they are displaying their Angel wings in Heaven.
I spoke to him about the aircraft he flew, he ranked the T-33 as complex because of the temperamentful engine management, the spitfire and mustang as easy, and the 109 as the difficult one he most respected
