He was alright, nice guy on the ground but kept shouting at me on way down under canopy cos couldnt lift legs up high enough to land cos harness restricted me. he kept shouting he loosened it and i will break my legs if i dont get legs up and out! Had a go at me cos he said i wasnt fit enuf and shouldnt have signed the fitness form! Never mind, i had bumpy landing but all bones are intact, lol... was still certainly a once in lifetime experience haha.

Had a letter with it saying for an extra £10 he will put it on youtube! Bit of a joke considering I've already paid out £75!

Thank Emily for her lovely message and it was a pleasure jumping out of the plane! hehe I would def do it again next year but only in a tandem. Don't like the thought of being out there on my own. To much responsibility for me!

Here's a draft press release I've prepared this morning, to be sent to the other veterinary and consumer media - thoughts please!

Veterinary nurses leap out of aircraft to help children

A group of brave veterinary nurses leapt out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft last weekend, both to raise money for children with epilepsy, and to highlight the need to protect the title 'Veterinary Nurse' in law.

[Names of The Jumpers], only one of whom had parachuted before, were raising money for the Muir Maxwell Trust, a charity which funds research into childhood epilepsy, and supports the families of some of the 70,000 children affected by it in the UK.

The daredevil nurses also wanted to highlight the fact that anyone can call themselves a veterinary nurse, regardless of whether they've ever even set foot inside a veterinary practice, let alone passed the demanding examinations. They argue that the title 'Veterinary Nurse' should be protected in law, in exactly the same way as 'Veterinary Surgeon', so that the pet-owning public can have the reassurance of knowing when their animal is being cared for by a qualified professional.
