JRP Operations Director parachutes into Normandy

Brian Mulvey (JRP Operations Director) recently took part in a memorial parachute jump to commemorate 6th June D-Day landing operations in 1944.

The parachute jump was part of festivities in Sannerville, Normandy and although the ageing 40year old 'Airborne' has not jumped for a number of years this was his second jump of 2012, the first commemorating the Bruneval raid, also in Normandy.

Also in attendance was JRP Electrical Supervisor Pat Dodge who experienced the action from within the DC3 Dakota (Taking off and Landing........)

Brian is a member of Pathfinder Europe, which is a round canopy parachute club.

Well done Brian, nice to see you back in one piece!
