Not good. They put on an excellent display yesterday in particularly nasty winds up at Elvington.

They are damn good,(for PTI's) I despatched them several times years ago, along with the RM Free Fall team too. It now turns out that a neighbour in Spain was one of the RM team! Small world, hopefully all will be well.

I like the (for PTI's) bit Trev
Sadly, any parachuting accident can more often than not end in tragedy so fingers crossed.. the injured parties were being 'shined on'. ;-)
Incidentally.. I was taught to parachute by the 'Eagles' in 1976 and did 6 static-line jumps (the 6th ending in a blown periphery culminating in a reserve chute landing) :o Not a lot 'a people know that

I can see a perverse satisfaction there Pete!

Handy in any trouble too as you could hold the coats and let her get stuck in :drinkers:
