Having marvelled at his display the day before at Goodwood, and now that he has been named I'd like to add my own best wishes. The third-hand info that I received suggested that he was out of hospital and assisting with the recovery of the aircraft during the week although suffering from a gash to the head. His passenger was reported to have suffered what sound like whiplash injuries. Given the strength of the airframe and the type of harnesses used in Extras it sounds as though it was a fairly severe decelleration.

Sad to say that his passenger is still in hospital with spinal injuries amoung various others and will be in hospital & rehab for some time.
But she is still alive and in one piece and that's the main thing. Fingers crossed for a full recovery.

If I was going to have a forced landing in an Extra 300 I would appreciate having JG as my pilot. Top bloke. Ace display in the RV4 (shame he wont sell to me though :-) ) and the Swift display is just brilliant. Rates with the Chinook as one of the most original displays in many years.
