British Wings - SF Alpha Geek Style

Posted By Blackfive

Those of you with Brit Jump Wings will appreciate these posts by SF Alpha Geek - a MilBlogger who should be writing professionally.  Paratroopers and enthusiasts will appreciate the level of detail and the rememberances:

Jumping With The Brits Part One
Jumping With The Brits Interlude (part two?)

While SFAG claims that the RAF were class guys, I think the Brit Army guys next to me on the platform weren't exactly the epitome of decorum.  One of them had to relieve himself at about 700 feet in the air and urinated in his pants, and, while the wind wasn't exactly howling, it was enough to get a little residual spray in the face while he laughed...David Niven, indeed.

Update:  Any good Foreign jump experiences to share?.  I have friends that always talk about their Jordanian Jump Wings...I missed opportunities for German and Canadian wings.
