Just dropping in...


One of the spectacles at this year's IWA National Festival at Ratcliffe-on-Soar was the arrival of the Tigers, the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment's Parachute Display Team. They jumped out of their aeroplane 2000 feet above the festival site at about 1225 on the Monday (disappointing some who'd been expecting them at 1245, the time advertised in the programme).


the first two jump ...



... and here they come...



... the orange X on the ground marks the spot



daintily stepping over the cooling towers





all safely down



job done.
