I thought he only did one jump?
While I don't have a source confirming completion of all eight jumps I was on the course after him and had he been given any quarter it would have been all over Brize. Also, reading around, the consensus seems to be that he completed Brize but didn't do P Coy. The "rumour" is that when he was made Commandant of the Parachute Regiment he couldn't wear the uniform and the beret and "look them in the eye" without having jumped.
Even if he only did one, he jumped and until someone has stood in the door of a big, smelly, noisy Fat Albert looking down at what appears to be a nice model going by below and leapt into the 120kt slipstream they can't say they would.
