Sue has nearly 300 jumps, mostly trained by Dave from her first jump - a very able student I might add! Dave has nearly 3000 jumps. Starting in 1970, he has represented Britain at three World Championships; Yugoslavia '78 (13th in Accuracy), Bulgaria '80 and Czechoslovakia '82 - and in 1983 was British National Champion (individual overall, style & accuracy). He was owner & Chief Instructor of Lincoln Parachute Centre (1980-1988) and Eaglescott Parachute Centre (1988-1994). He has owned Cessna 170, 180, 182, 206 & jumped from 37 different types of aircraft (including 6 different types of helicopters) in 13 different countries; America, Austria, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czechoslovakia, Dubai, England, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Scotland, Wales and Yugoslavia. We retired from skydiving in 1998 and now spend our spare money on skiing, mainly in Austria.
