  2. I had met and spoke to Adrian on a few occasions, but it was only at the Freefly Extravaganza in Texel on the 19th-21st August '05 that i really got to know him. Adrian, Rob Silver and me were constantly ribbing each other and taking the piss, it was all very good fun. I only managed to get on one load with Adrian, a 14-way Atmonauti Tandem, i exited before Adrian who was last out, i remember looking down to the load and thinking 'Crikey! They're far away!!!' I put every inch of effort into getting down to the group and suddenly a green flash went past me at twice my speed! he just nipped down and over the group, truely amazing flying!! Adrian was and still is a true pioneer in our sport, and he will be greatly missed. I was trying to get him along to Weston to come and play, unfortunately he was busy, this is from the end of his reply (including the Typo) Hope all is well in your world Adrian, BSBD Nigel Holland -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Sponored by NZ Aerosports, CYPRES 2, Tonfly & L&B Team Dirty Sanchez #232
