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. 2-3pm

John Betjeman: Poems, Places and
People - an illustrated talk by Don Archer
 Probably
the best-loved poet of the twentieth century, John Betjeman was much
more than a poet: He was a man of many interests, enthusiasms and
abilities: writer, critic, lover of Victorian architecture and country
railways, conservationist, radio and television personality. His topographical writings and
guidebooks, particularly those about churches, towns and villages,
give us not just information but a sense and spirit of place. An
eccentric and lover of eccentricity, he has much to teach us about how
to look at places and how to look after them.
By profession a physical chemist,
Manchester-born Don Archer has lived and worked in Devon for over 50
years. His varied teaching career (at secondary schools, technical
college and university) culminated with heading the science side of
the School of Education at Exeter University. His interest in industrial history
and archaeology, particularly of Victorian times, brought him to John
Betjeman. In his talk, Don touches on a few poems, rather more places,
and scores of people associated with Betjeman.
Coffee is served from 10.00 to 10.45
followed by talk at 11.00 until noon.
