Does anyone know if the Freds come under the same jurisdiction these days as the Falcons. To my knowledge the Freds were a sports team operating to BPA (British Parachute Association)rules whereas the Falcons is a full time posting governed by the Service rules. MAA?

It's great spectacle to watch.
