This photograph captures the thrilling moment of a lone RAF Falcons freefall team member in action during an exhilarating skydiving session in France, 1965. The daring para, clad in his vibrant red jumpsuit and helmet, is mid-air, freefalling from a great altitude, with his parachute still packed on his back. The parachute, a crucial safety measure, is visible in the foreground, ready to be deployed once the diver reaches the optimal height. The RAF Falcons Freefall Team, a renowned British parachute display team, was known for its daring and precise aerial maneuvers during the 1960s.

The diver's focused expression, combined with the intricate details of his kit - including his gloves, mitchell harness, and parachute pack - add to the overall allure of the photograph. This photograph is a testament to the courage and skill of the RAF Falcons Freefall Team, and offers a glimpse into the thrilling world of parachuting during the 1960s. With its rich history and captivating visuals, this photograph is a must-have for any aviation, military, or sports enthusiast's collection.
