| Hi everyone, sorry for the lack of updates over the last few
days. The schools has been in the UK running a tunnel camp for
new and experienced skydivers. We had a total of 27 people come
on our camp and it was really nice to get all those people back
together who did courses out in Spain this year. Here are a
few pictures taken over the last few days.......... |

coach on still flying skills. Liz is currently on an AFF course

All tests are held under exam conditions. |
