Quite a few years ago I saw a print of Ray Hanna's incredible low pass along the start/finish straight at Goodwood. I think it was a limited edition print run taken from an original artwork. Does anyone know if there are any for sale anywhere? It would go straight on to my Christmas list! I would love to own one.

Oddly I did see one in the Autojumble section of the classic car show at the NEC this weekend.

Not terribly helpful I know but one exists.

That is a great photo and I'm very tempted but the picture I saw was from an oil painting. The artist was looking along the main straight towards the chicane with the rear view of the spitfire. It was quite big too. From memory I would say it would have been about 30 inches by 20 inches.

Thanks for your replies.

Yes, that's Ray's son Mark Hanna (also RIP).

Ray's daughter Sarah runs the old flying machine company [http://www.ofmc.co.uk/]with Laura Bonhomme these days.

Paul Bonhomme (redbull air race multiple champion, and Laura's husband) often flies that spitfire these days. You quite often see it at the Revival.

It's had some pretty handy pedallers in the seat, that plane...

Hmm, bit a cameraman fail there. When you're looking one way and everybody else is looking the other, check over your shoulder.

It will/should sweep money from your designated bank account.

As has been said that image was available as a poster size mounted on board at the NEC in the Auto Jumble section, it was priced at around £100 .

True and on another point, I hadn't realised there were two Spitfires performed this stunt. Everyone talks about Ray Hanna's pass so who was flying the other one?

There's also the (real) bridge shoot in the little-remembered series 'Piece of Cake':

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf3UtmHLKUU

And reused in Foyle's War:

Mr Hanna at work (well play) again I believe.



(Looks like they slowed it down, so he seems to exit at about 40mph which is a pity)

There is some very nice pictures and details of the making of Piece of Cake in the aptly titled book, How They Made Piece of Cake. It sometimes comes up on ebay and has some great pics of the locations used and some of the best are of the Spits doing low level around Charlton Park, which doubled for the French Chateau.

Was this Hanna chap afraid of heights or something? He never seemed to get too far from the ground...
