The movie was pretty good for it's time, if like you said, you can get past the 70 minutes of drama. Nice to see the Para-Commanders, which I still have great memories of. Wow, haven't things changed!
That is great that is there and still operating. Beautiful place to jump. Most of the people I jumped with back then were RAF, a great bunch. I realy need to take a trip back there. Used to jump out a great old Twin engine Biplane in the early 70s. I recently found a web site with pictures of Weston and some information. Also a great shot of a glider over the DZ. Weston has a long and interesting history. As I found web sites with related information I will post them to this thread if anyone is interested.
I used the jump at Weston On The Green in the UK way back in 1972-73 and ws just curious if anyone else out there was still jumping there or who may have jumped there during that period of time.
