I am aware of the difference Stacker!

I had the pleasure of watching some TA SAS guys (not sure if they were 21 or 23) jumping out of a Herc in Jul '95 whilst on a skydiving course at Weston On The Green. As a lower priority course, we had to sit aside whilst the big boys jumped their Accelerated Freefall jumps with a 22 chap on each arm, superb stuff. Us low lifes on the sports course felt rather insignificant whilst standing around in our orange jump suits watching grown men land with enough hardwear to start a small war on 'em!!!

Fair play to you AA, I thought I'd done well getting up to a 56 sec delay wearing nothing more that a wrist altimeter, soiled boxershorts & a jumpsuit!
