Rare Visit - Teesside Airport Welcomes RAF Hercules for Parachute Training
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In a remarkable display of military prowess, Teesside airport played host to an unexpected visitor last night. An imposing RAF Hercules aircraft touched down on the runway, much to the surprise of locals and aviation enthusiasts alike. Its purpose? To transport 50 brave soldiers from D Company, 4th Battalion The Parachute Regiment, based at TA centre in Norton. The soldiers and their comrades eagerly boarded the colossal aircraft, ready for an adrenaline-fueled training parachute drop. Their destination? Downholme moor, near Richmond – a picturesque location that would soon become their playground for this daring exercise. As dawn broke over the horizon on June 17th, 1987, these courageous individuals leapt from heights of 800 feet into the unknown. Clad in khaki uniforms adorned with camouflage patterns, they embraced the challenge before them with unwavering determination. This snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents the spirit and dedication of our armed forces during this era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst peacekeeping duties and territorial army commitments, these soldiers continuously honed their skills through rigorous exercises like this one. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints and expertly captured by Staff photographer (not mentioned), this image stands as a testament to bravery and camaraderie within our military community during the vibrant decade of the 1980s.
