Is Noel Harrison the first death we have had in the past couple of weeks? I used to like him back in the 60s/70s

Now i've watched that a few times, Was it him flying the glider or more movie bull shite,
The only time you see him in it is at the end and then its not a full on shot,
Wouldnt be the first time he was doubled, Great escape jumping the barbed wire,
even then the guy went pissing because they cut away,

I doubt he flew the glider, although he was issued a private pilot's license in 1979 after learning to fly but you would know that McQ

Paul Newman
Newman was already one of the coolest American males on the planet when he started racing in the early 1970s. He picked up racing late in life, finishing second in 1979 at the the 24 Hours of LeMans while driving a Porsche. He was in his 50s then, but it wasn't until 1995 that he hit his racing peak. At age 70, he finished third overall at the 24 Hours of Daytona behind the wheel of aNissan, and first in his class. As he told The New York Times in 2002, racing satisfied him in two ways. "''Distinction is a fuzzy thing in acting, but it's very clear in racing,'' he told the Times. ''Also, I'm not a very graceful person. I was a sloppy skier, a sloppy tennis player, a sloppy football player. The only thing I found grace in was racing a car.''
Steve McQueen
"Racing is life... everything before and after is just waiting," says McQueen as Michael Delaney in Le Mans. Starting in 1959, McQueen, didn't do much waiting. He raced sportscars, open-wheel racecars, and motorcycles on any given weekend between films. He became a racing legend at the 1970 Sebring race where he and his partner, driving a Porsche, came in second to super driver Mario Andretti and his Ferrari. But get this: McQueen raced with his leg in a plaster cast put on two weeks earlier, after he snapped his leg in six places during the Lake Elsinore Grand Prix motorcycle race. Allegedly, he hobbled out of his Porsche at the end of Sebring in extreme pain as the cast had melted off his foot. Now that's badass.
Oh, and it was a guy called Thomas Knauff who flew the glider...
