-Thanks for that Mike, I will try and arrange my lunch break tommorow for about 11.15 to 12.15 so I can get up there to see her go. Thanks again Mike for taking the time to post. :)

-Blimey, if only the railways ran to time like you do - 11.45 on the dot!
Great to see J4021 today. Always a bit emotional to see a Hunter in the sky, more so today as thoughts immediatly turned to Mark Hanna, this being one of his old aircraft.

-Was on my way down to Southend unfortunately. Mike, did J4021 head out east Suffolk way during that flight?

-G-HHAC carried out the memorial flypast in memory of Mark Hannah, and returned on time to Scampton at 1225.
Regretably I never met Mark but it is obvious through the stories and respect illustrated on this forum and through contacts I have made whilst being involved with the HHA operation that he was undoubtedly an aviation icon with great ability and skill, who also had a persoanality and charisma which endeared him to all.
