Very well done Lesley - the weather looks absolutely perfect.

Great comedy value on the landing - instead of the boring 'feet down and two step' arrival, your 'feet up and two buttock' version is much more entertaining!

The girl done good.  Congratulations, leaving a serviceable aeroplane at 13000 feet is something most people's brains require some persuading about, but you did it.

Fantastic, really well done!
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Fantastic, looked like so much fun & you didn’t appear nervous at all! I’m surprised you didn’t have to wear some of the protective gear your chap had on? I thought it would be cold up there?

Thank you so much for your donation, it was very warm up there . We didn't need a hat as we were in front of the leader. It was fantastic i would do it again, i think doing the zip wire first over the eden project was a good start.  :D

Have the just giving people re-set your page?  When mine went in before the jump it was specifically against your event - also now looks to have reset the total.   Deffo went in though - had the receipt and all.  Odd.

Very well done Lesley and congratulations. :D

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.
I may be growing OLD, but I refuse to grow UP !
