I am proud that at least I met and worked with one of you ... ( Simon Crane ) was the second unite director for the movie (Troy) and with his stuntman background and me being a Stuntman too I believe he did an amazing job .. specially when he was the director of all the massive and action scenes .. while Wolfgang Peterson was directing mostly the speech and drama parts... I hope they give ( Simon Crane ) more credit for his work and he begin to direct as the main director ... Respect for all of you .. and wish you all the best ... stay safe and be alive ... best wishes Shero Rauf Great times .. and thanks for sharing the image…

I am not working on hovercrafts no longer that was just a one off. They wanted me because of my Aircraft engineering skills and thought that they would be an asset to keeping the hovercrafs in full working order for the shoot. I am also an Artist, i draw and paint. I have just finished a drawing of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones done in colour pencils which i would like for you to see as you worked close to him and give me your comments? Is there any way i could get it to you Vic? Regards Mike Hi Vic, thanks for the reply, yes i remember the golf, i think we was put on hold, somthing to do with the weather and clouds?

I also remember having golf driving challenges and trying to hit one of the guys in a boat in the lake. I hope you are well and are you still working with hovercrafts?
