I understand he is in the GWR for being the oldest person to do a tandem paraglide, at the claimed age of 105.

I’m not aware of any formal validation process behind that entry, but it would be interesting to know.

An awesome achievement - whatever his age.

With respect to the GRG, other groups have not been able to rely on GRG validations for some time.
