Very well done Lesley and congratulations. I arrived at RAF Weston on the Green (unoficially called "WoG Air) on Monday approx June of 1968. We hung around and chatted for a while. Monday afternoon we did a bit of training as well as Tueday morning, Tuesday afternoon we jumped!
I completed 10 jumps all on my own and the last two jumps we were allowed to pull our own ripcord. I cannot remember if it was a TU chute or a double L. All this from a Dragon Rapide (with a leaky head gasket).
The only injury was to an officer who out to impress we 'erks' and tent pegged himself into the ground, by failing to bend his knees.
Cheers, Tony.
