You're welcome.  He was in the Bond movie (The Man With the Golden Gun) with my 
favorite stunt where Bond (Roger Moore) drives a car over a bridge that has no 
mid-section ("I sure am, boy!").  They achieved that car roll in one take.  It 
remided me of the barrel roll "Tex" Johnston did for Boeing in a 707 when they 
were showing it off to prospects.  The chieftains at Boeing told him not to do 
that again.  I wish I'd been in it.  That was an enormous plane at the time.


Regards,

Roger
