  1. I'd say 6 or 7 in the UK fly Caravans or Grand Caravans. One of the UK's busiest Dz's is open 364 days a year and flies 2 Grand Caravans all year round.
  2. Nope, no need. I was kind of hoping they would need to though, as my reserve is due in a few weeks and a free reserve repack would have been nice!
  3. The only details that have been published at the moment are in the safety notice here http://www.bpa.org.uk/file_uploads/File/Safery%20Notices/S%20NOTICE%201-10.doc
  4. The UK have now temporarily grounded all Argus units until a full review can be carried out at the Safety and Training Committee next week. Bad times for Argus users.
  5. FYI this was over Skydive Weston in the UK sometime last year I think. It was weird watching the Herc circle with someone hanging out the back!
  6. Jason I would double check about the retractable pilot chute as the photo provided on the item certainly seems to show a retracted pilot chute! Now I don't know how difficult it is to convert this (it may just simply be a case of removing the pilot chute and reconnecting it outside of the rings) but I'm sure someone will be able to advise!
  7. Looks like we're out of it. Thanks for all the support everyone! I really appreciate it! Shame we couldn't win though, this would have been really awesome!

  9. Broken well through the 3000 barrier now, but we need to be more in the 10000+ to be winning this.

  10. we now need to triple numbers! I have a message going out to 16000+ students very soon but I know how ineffective these emails can be so please keep up the invites!
  11. Any chance of a nice mod making this thread sticky for 5 more days until the deadline is up?!
  12. Awesome news! We've pushed into 3rd place! However, the top two have pushed ahead even further.

  13. Ok we need to double the numbers if we're going to win. I need another burst of support please!!

  14. The event will also receive huge publicity from the sponsoring company (the mobile network provider, Three), so it will be great publicity for Skydiving in the UK!
