I wonder if anyone remembers this chap. He is surprisingly not listed on IMDb.
N.Z. Stunt Man
(N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, Dec. 20.
Some people dislike flying in planes, but when it comes to flying on the outside of planes, a New Zealander, Pat Waddick, aged 35, is quite at home. Mr Waddick, who works as a flying stunt man and building contractor in Hollywood, California, is in Auckland for a short visit. New Zealanders may have seen Mr Waddick in the television programme “77 Sunset Strip" in which he played an Australian sheep ranch foreman, or visitors to California may have seen him dangling from a rope attached to a flying aircraft in the “Gold Coast Air Show.” Mr Waddick, who comes from Invercargill, left New Zealand 17 years ago, spent 10 years as a building contractor in Geelong, Australia, and then moved to California, where he has been living since. In Hollywood, most of his flying stunt work is for television. He is an acrobatic stunt man who does anything on a flying plane from walking on the wing to hanging upside down by his heels.

Oops, that was from the Press newspaper, dated 21 December 1965.
