Description:
Trevor is a much loved and respected skydiver and the first Australian BASE jumper to die jumping in his home country. He is the first to jump the cable car in the Blue Mountains. Trevor is found dead at the LZ with his canopy at line stretch and its slider at the top of the lines. Jumpers report that while Trevor had been around the sport for a long time he is caught in a time warp as far as BASE equipment is concerned. Trevor was jumping a Fury 220, with a sail slider packed into a deployment bag.

His older style Racer container had a pull out 30-inch F-111 pilot chute and a short 4-foot bridle.
