I was really hoping it was real

You really think they would take that risk just before the British GP?

That was my first thought - then i thought - this looks pretty real no obvious CGI (bearing in mind 1st time I was watched was online and not in HD). That made me think - aderelin junkie, likes speed, danger etc. Could be something his done alot of. It wasnt till I watched it back last night on Sky+ in HD that I reailsed there were tell tail CGI parts and then I found the BBCs 'how we made it video'.
Which to me was even more of a let down. That should have been kept quiet for a few weeks.

the queen did it a couple of years ago, to start the Olympics, and that was real

Funnily enough it was the same bloke doubling for them.

Gary Connery was the Queens stunt double for the Olympics.

Mark was the James Bond double for the Olymics Dive.

Ah yes, I stand corrected.................Mark Sutton was Daniel Craigs double, who also jumped out with the Queen (Gary Connery)

Lewis said before the " exit" he had never done it before, when he exited the aircraft he had only the cameraman with him . Any first jump A .F.F students have two instructors, one on each side and a first jump student would never back loop or track so the whole thing was obviously faked.

I thought his words were more like 'never done anything like this before' as skydive down to a GP circuit b4 a race!
