What future has British Military Parachute Training?
My son-in-law is a military PJI (Parachute Jump Instructor) who has expressed his concerns, frustrations and apprehensions for the future of this highly valued skill for both the instructional arm and the future for the Parachute Regiments. He sights, amongst other factors, the lack of available aircraft because of vital overseas commitments, off services due to old age, shortage of spare parts, technicians and the general lack of political interest. Fortunately Special Forces seem less affected.
Your learned thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
