Jump with the world famous Red Devils!
A unique way to support Help for Heroes - how about a sponsored tandem skydive? By taking part in this event you can have a once in a lifetime experience and raise funds for the charity at the same time. This exciting day will involve an introduction to the Red Devils Team followed by a thorough training session on the ground. When you are fully briefed and it is your turn to jump you will board the aircraft with your Red Devils tandem instructor, once aboard you will be attached to your instructor in readiness for the jump. The aircraft will take off and climb to 13,000ft (2 1/2 miles up!), during the climb you will be able to see stunning aerial views from a unique perspective.
At exit altitude you move to the door of the aircraft and on the count of 3 jump out into freefall. For some people the next 45 seconds lasts forever, for others it is over in the blink of an eye. However it takes you, your instructor will deploy the parachute at approximately 6,000ft for a gentle canopy ride to the ground. Once you have landed you will have joined the lucky few who have experienced the freedom of skydiving.

More about the Red Devils:
The Parachute Regiment Freefall Team 'The Red Devils' is the official parachute display team of both the Parachute Regiment ('The PARAS') and the British Army.
The team's role is to promote both the Parachute Regiment and the British Army in support of recruitment - this is achieved by carrying out over 100 spectacular parachute displays at public events each year and by attracting positive publicity through the media.
The team is manned by 25 serving soldiers from the Parachute Regiment's three full-time battalions: 1, 2 & 3 PARA.
Every member of the team has served a minimum of three years in a Parachute Regiment battalion and has taken part in at least one operational tour of duty in either: The Falkland Islands, Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Sierra Lieone, Afghanistan and/or Iraq.
