Lindsay tells us the story in her own words:

"It was to be an early start on the Saturday morning to ensure we got to the Black Knight Parachute Centre in Cockerham, Lancaster for 8 am. A designated jump time couldn’t be given so it was a case of first come first serve.

"Rain literally pelted of the windscreen on the motorway on the way there, however we completed the registration process, which made us think; “oh my god, they’re going to be putting us up there in this weather!” So we waited….It rained….And then rained some more.

"The moment there was a slight break in the cloud at around 1pm the first people were taken up.  The second plane went up shortly after but came down again without making the ‘drop’ as yes, it had started to rain again…and that break in the cloud had disappeared.
