Just read this on the Electronic Telegraph:

AN experienced parachutist who recently learned to "skysurf" fell to his death
when his snowboard became entangled in his emergency parachute in a 15,000ft
jump.

Fellow parachutists at Headcorn aerodrome, Kent, yesterday spoke of their
horror as they saw 36-year-old Nigel Thomas spiralling down and trying to
disentangle himself after his main parachute failed to open.

RIP

Paul Yull

 

Paul died doing something we all love, riding his motorcycle. He was a well respected member of Ixion, with many noticable postings and trip reports, as well as the author of an excellent guide to motorcycle touring: Paul's Touring FAQ. Some of his exploits were reported in: Paul and Marvin's Excellent Adventure.

His funeral was held on Friday 29 May 1998 at 10:20. As a gesture of respect, only mail dedicated to the memory of Paul was allowed through Ixion between 10:00 and 14:00. Here are some of these tributes

Adam Hebblewhite

 

Adams death was not motorcycle related. His funeral was held on Saturday the 9th of May 1998, at 12pm at the Worth Crematorium, Crawley. Our condolences to his family.
