Successful Parachute Jump for Somerset Festival

On Good Friday, after many hours of finger biting, Philip Royce and David Randle finally hurled themselves out of a light aircraft 3,500 feet above the ground and left the rest to gravity and their long hours of training.

Said Philip. “The delight at seeing a beautiful fully functional canopy open above your head can not be described. The descent took around 5 minutes and we both managed to land roughly where we should have, even though it may not have been too graceful! Lots of shaking of hands and pats on the back ensued. It was a terrifying but unforgettable experience.”

Philip and David hope to raise around £1,500 for the Somerset 2007 Festival for the RMBI and would like to thank everyone who supported them.
