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
