It should be noted that Ray Hanna, Mark's father passed away last week at the age of 77. Hopefully father and son are flying together elsewhere now. Mark was lost in the crash of a Spanish built 109 a few years back

The Spit is MH434 which is a combat vet . The AH Spit IX is skinned as MH434 in her 43-44 222 Squadron markings.
