Richard Grace, ML407 Display Pilot

[James Wheeler]

Yesterday afternoon Duxford was treated to a very different, refreshing and superbly executed flying display by Richard. Several supporters made it for the event to support him as did Carolyn and Olivia, of course.

I think the rounds of applause received, one as Richard taxied back in, another as he climbed out of the cockpit and a further round as he walked back to the tower spoke volumes.

Very very well done Richard!

Here are some photographs for you:

Kind regards.

      great photos as usual James, and congrats to Richard, what an achievement , it certainly must be in the blood,

       Carolyn must of been grinning from ear to ear watching Richard on his first official display, what a truly amazing family,

         england should be very very proud of them , ML 407 must feel very comfortable with mother and son now at her

      controls, if she could speak I'm guessing she would of said  " come on Richard lets show them what we can do , I've known

     you since you where a toddler and been waiting for this day "         crazy-haze x

Fantastic pictures, James; a suitable memento for a the occasion. I was very glad to be there and judging by the comments of the general public and also the chaps at Classic Wings when I made my Rapide hop later on, a display that impressed and excited all who saw it. I even saw Richard signing autographs at one point!

A brilliant day for one and all. Many congratulations.

Well done James for getting a shot published in Flypast this month of Richards display. Great PR and good for you too!

Shame you didn't get as many pages of coverage in the magazine as me though....  ...running now..!!

Lol, thanks Darren

Hey, it's a start! Now they have heard of me I need to start getting off my backside and sending CD's from displays in

I'll have to buy a catapult and some ball bearings as I can't run after you at the moment!
