The Red Devils
 The
British Army’s official parachute display team will be a star
attraction of our Lifeboat Week.
The Red Devils, based at Netheravon Airfield on Salisbury
Plain, are a team of 15, all of whom have seen active service
in the Falklands, Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Sierra Leone,
Afghanistan or Iraq. They are widely acknowledged as among
the best display parachutists in the world, and carry out
spectacular shows at public events worldwide, promoting the
British Army and the
Parachute Regiment, known as ‘The Paras’.
A classic Red Devils display will see up to ten team members
jumping from an altitude
of 10,000ft. Trailing smoke to demonstrate their speed
and movement, the highly skilled skydivers will freefall at
speeds up to 120mph before opening their parachutes. Then they
will demonstrate breath-taking high-speed ‘swoop’ landings and
spectacular ‘canopy formations’. A commentary will keep
everyone informed and the skydivers will be available
afterwards to meet spectators.
