Gary was interested in flying, and used to frequent Biggin Hill’s air shows and take lessons there. I’m fairly sure that my Dad and him met up at Biggin Hill, Dad being a keen aviation enthusiast who at one time had a self-made plane taking up his garage, and the cars had to park in the paved part of the front garden.
Well, it would have been a trifle pointless to park them round the back! 🤣✈️🚘🚖
5ft8.25. Yes, I DID like his style of music, which I found highly original. I’m now thinking that Gary might have been a fan of German group Kraftwerk; they had some great hits in the 70s and 80s and I recently invested in their greatest hits CD. 💿

I have a photo of Gary and me at an album signing in September 2017. I'm exactly 5'7" but I had about a 0.5" footwear advantage on him. You can draw a horizontal line across our eyes. 5'81/4" is certainly possible or just a shade shorter.
Fantastic bloke - he stood the whole time to meet every fan over the course of about 3 hours.

I know he is 5'8&1/2. Met him, interviewed him at Guilfest about 2008 I think, have photo of him next to me. I'm 5'11. I had flat deck shoes. He had 2 inch boots and he is virtually same height so conclusion is he is as I'd guess with such a nice genuine guy exactly as he has said, half way between 2 heights he has given in print. He is 5' 8 & half any day.

Rob I know this might sound a stupid question but Gary has stated in the past that he has Asperger/autism could that have an affect on height It's just a lot of people I know who have high Fuctioning Autim condition aren't normally very tall and I was wondering why that might be, could it be poor Immunity?

Editor RobThere's at least one study mentioning how having autism might actually mean a greater level of growth hormone in the system. Click Here

Met Gary a few times while he was on tour at signings etc, I'd say the height is aprox correct, and he does wear BIG boots hehehehehehehe, but then it could also be part of the style and fashion he is into.

I met Gary in about 1985 at Biggin Hill air show,and I think 5'8.25''is too much for him,that is he's shoe height he's about 5'7''at most,he was flying a plane mocked up to look like a WW2 Japanees fighter
