EDITORS COMMENTS
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 team's members, including this intrepid diver, underwent rigorous training to perfect their skills in the extreme sport of parachuting. The image evokes a sense of both excitement and tranquility, as the diver stands defiantly against the expansive blue sky, surrounded by the serene clouds. 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.
