Newcastle student Andrew Abbess won the British National Parachuting Championships in
Newcastle student Andrew Abbess won the British National Parachuting Championships in June 1989.
Andrew, a sport studies undergraduate, won his first major competition for intermediates - those who have jumped between 50 and 200 times - after finishing first and second in the two categories that made up the event.
He came first in the accuracy section of the competition, where parachutists aim to land on a 1cm disk, surrounded by electronic pads which record the precision of the jump.
In eight attempts, from a height of 3, 500ft, he had an average error of just 7cm with a best of 2cm.
