Ray Hanna
Squadron Leader Raynham George Hanna AFC (with bar) (28 August 1928 – 1 December 2005) was a New Zealand-born pilot in the Royal Air Force and a number of civilian companies. During his time in the RAF, he was a founding member of the Red Arrows. He also founded the ''Old Flying Machine Company'' and regularly flew aircraft from his vintage warbird collection at airshows around the world.
==RAF career==
Hanna learned to fly in New Zealand in 1947/48 before joining the RAF in 1949. During his initial training, he flew types such as the Percival Prentice, North American Harvard and Gloster Meteor. He went on to fly types including the Hawker Tempest, Hawker Sea Fury and Bristol Beaufighter.
His first operational posting was to No. 79 Squadron RAF, flying the Meteor FR.9 as part of the NATO Second Allied Tactical Air Force. Hanna flew a number of early British jet aircraft in this period, including the de Havilland Vampire, de Havilland Venom, Supermarine Attacker, Hawker Sea Hawk, Supermarine Swift and Gloster Javelin. Early in his career, Hanna had the opportunity to become involved with aerial display teams, first as the leader of a four-ship Hunter display team in 1957 and then, in 1963–64, as a member of a Meteor display team operated by the College of Air Warfare.
In 1965, Hanna became a member of the Red Arrows display team as 'Red 3'. The following year, he became the team leader, 'Red 1', a post which he held for a record four years. During this time, Hanna oversaw the enlargement of the team to nine Folland Gnat T.Mk1 aircraft, making possible the inclusion of the diamond-nine formation which is a staple feature of Red Arrows display routines to this day. During this period, the Red Arrows became a permanent squadron as part of the Central Flying School. Hanna left the RAF in 1971.
