ATO parachuting into the Atlantic IN 1972

I can confirm that the ATO did get presented his Para wings and for the remainder of his career when quizzed as to when he completed P Coy took great delight in saying he hadn't attempted it! When quizzed as to why he wasn't wearing a 'light bulb' para badge then used to take evener greater delight in saying he hadn't completed a jumps course either - he'd just made an operational jump! The ATO eventually retired from regular service in the late '90s.
