We got up early, (Tom has not seen this time on a Saturday morning for a long time) and drove out to the airfield. After much form filling they were ready for the briefing. Tom was to be in the first group to jump.
Tom was not his usual chatty self
They trooped out to the plane which was being refuelled (or was he practising wing walking?)
And they're off!
Tree 1- Plane 0The plane clipped a tree at the top of the runway. The wing had been slightly damaged and needed repair.
Unfortunately while we were waiting the weather changed, the wind started gusting upto 25mph at ground level, and the blue sky disappeared.
This was the only parachute to be seen.
