mccurley 1 #4 May 29, 2010 Claude Gillard and his big grin!! He was at the POPs meet in Toogoolawah two years ago and still sporting the same grin. And of course still singing his famous rendition of "King Of The Air" For those who don't know, he founded the Australian Parachute Federation.Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim_Hooper 4 #6 May 31, 2010 Haven't seen him in years, but Claude Gillard was always one of my favorite people. But what a naughty boy! He certainly livened up the CIP meetings - and was always kept busy on damage limitation operations in the wake of the latest outrage committed by the Aussie team. Their theft of the Red Chinese delgation's flag at the '78 World Cup in France came very close to causing a major international incident. Blue and Digger Dave put on their innocent look and denied all knowledge. I think Claude finally found a seamstress in town to make a replacement, which mollified the Chinese only slightly. Man, were they grumpy. As was the French Federation. Wonder where that flag is now... Hoop Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ottley gave us "the talk" about returning it, if we had it. I was never aware who the actual guilty parties were. We made some effort to convince the Chinese that it was an honor that their flag had been stolen. I don't think they understood that. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
