Performing the jump in England's rowing town of Henley-On-Thames, Connery made reached around 80 mph by the time he came in to land.
"I am in a strange space. I guess I haven't really digested myself what happened. Absolutely amazing!" was Gary's first response to the waiting Sky News reporter.
"I'm so choked with the turn out, it's been an amazing experience. It was so comfortable, it was so soft, my calculations have obviously worked out and I'm glad they did!"
His wife Vivian, said she was relieved it was all over.
