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
