For information. "Ringing The Bell" was also known by some as having received "A Whitley Kiss".

Our sports master at school had been one of the first to volunteer from the army commandos to join the new parachute regiment. They were trained initially at Ringway (manchester,England ) If a parachutist hit the side of the hatch with his face ,he had to buy everybody a drink later in the pub. I spotted Frank Gleason on TV a couple of years back in Normandy at an anniversary. He was wearing his blazer and red beret and was interviewed........One of the greatest men I ever met in my life.!

I am glad Bomberguy is back but I am really glad to see Denberg2 did take his own life when Bomberguy disappeared :)

Welcome back Bomberguy - you have been missed.

There is a memorial to the airborne forces in Tatton Park. We fly models there now.

Great music as always.

FYI, the British Bruneval Raid force jumped BSA FOLDING BICYCLES from Whitleys:

EXCELLENT VIDEO, BOMBERGUY!

Notice after 1:31 the static-lines and deployment bags streaming out the bottom jump hole; clutter we still have with our current parachutes that slows down the jump aircraft from escaping the drop zone area. Apparently no crew member in the Whitley to pull in the static-lines and D-Bags? We need to jump and only pop open a small drogue chute when we exit like the Russian VDV Airborne does.
