FlyPast  |   October 2019
The October issue of FlyPast is another 132-page special featuring an eight-page tribute to airshow legend Mark Hanna, who was the co-founder of Duxford-based Old Flying Machine Company and a key player in several famous films and TV series. Mark was hugely popular, not just because of his remarkable flying skills, but also because of his character and willingness to share his passion with enthusiasts. In our exclusive feature, Steve Beebee speaks to several who flew with or worked alongside Mark and remembers a true hero of the skies on the 20th anniversary of his tragic death.
