My personal message:

I jumped out of an aeroplane today, strapped to someone I'd never met - but he was a Red Devil, so everything was just dandy.

Perfect weather, and a great atmosphere at Netheravon Air Base, where a competition was on all day, creating a nice buzz, kinda like a ski resort (busy people in bright colours heading off to do something exciting somewhere out of sight).

No time to get nervous, nor any need. I felt in very safe hands and so when the moment came to dangle my feet over the side of the open cockpit door at 12,000 feet and let go, I just did.

Quite the most exciting, magical experience - not frightening, just strange and new and thrilling, and over way too soon.
