The summer of 1970 saw Garrison’s film unit supporting the Roger Corman production Von Richthofen and Brown Richard Bach travelled to Ireland and participated in the aerial sequences. On September 16 Charles Boddington was killed when his SE5 spun in during a low-level maneuver. The following day, during the final sequence, Garrison flew a Stampe with actor Don Stroud in the rear seat. The aircraft was set up with a rearward facing camera, mounted in front of Garrison, that shot Stroud in the rear seat ”flying the aircraft.” While flying at low-level across Lake Weston a large bird flew through the prop arc, striking Garrison in the face. Pulling up he hit 5 power lines and then plunged into the lake inverted. They were rescued by the film crew. Stroud was uninjured. Garrison required 60 stitches for a head wound.James A Farmer, BLUE MAX WARBIRDS, Air Progress WARBIRDS, Vol 12 Number 1,Jan/Feb 1993, page 25thumb|Lynn Garrison crash September 16, 1970 SV4.C Stampe
