Spifire and Mark Hanna

A great flier, sadly missed.

Wasn't MH434 the Spit that (rather anachronistically) did the 'flying under the bridge' stunt in the TV version of a piece of cake?

For me, almost as good as the MkIX in the clip is the East Anglian sky!

Sure was Alan, the OFMC stalwart.

It is a huge shame that neither father nor son are with us now. Their incredible skills and passion are sorely missed.

Good job Spitty posting that.

Splendid stuff. Filmed at Duxford, you can see the the chimneys of the pet / animal crematorium and the land warfare hall in the background. I miss living close and being involved in the aviation scene over there.

More low flying

That very same Spitfire (MH434), in the capable hands of Ray Hanna was used in probably the most infamous low flying footage filmed in quite some time. I'm sure that Alain deCadanet probably needed to change his shorts. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6tJgdquU_M
Caution: there is some coarse language at the end...

Wonderful clip that, I'm seen it many times but never tire of it. Poor old Cads nearly has a heart attack!

Cutting the daisies!

I love that clip. Of course, Alain de Cadenet is no stranger to horsepower, having driven at Le Mans.

But driving at Le mans, the cars normally do not pass over your head.

Not since they put that chicane on the Mulsanne Straight.
