This came to me via Lynn Williams and I thought it warranted posting here too: It is with sadness that I report the death of Ray Hilborne. He was a stress engineer with a wide grasp of aeronautics and a passion for aeroplanes of character of whatever era. He designed and stressed many fine replicas ...
