    They knew the risks in 1940 when they completed their training at RAF Ringway (Manchester Airport today) and joined the Regiment and Airborne Units, with the knowledge that Hitlers Order to EXECUTE ALL Parachutists was at the top of the agenda.
    As they did in ALL the Airborne operations that followed, with many being slaughtered from the ground like a turkey shoot at Ginkel Heath, near Arnhem as they fell in their hundreds!!
    Thats the risk and why we jump now at 200 feet operationally. The less time you have in the air raises your chances of survival, but NOT a lot of time to jettison your container below you!!
    'Tonight my men and I have been through hell and back again, but the look on your faces when we let you out of the hall - we'd do it all again tomorrow.' Major Chris Keeble's words to Goose Green villagers on 29th May 1982 - 2 PARA
