Army parachute display team makes history at Telford barracks - with pictures
Descending 3,500 feet trailing regimental flags, it was the first time in its history that a team of army parachutists landed at a Telford barracks.
Venning Barracks, in Donnington, was the landing spot for a team from the Silver Stars parachute display team on Tuesday.
The team descended while trailing regimental flags from army units across the Midlands.
The parachutists landed on the parade square in front of 150 invited guests at the 11th Signal and West Midlands Brigade’s annual reception.
The guests included D-Day veteran, Reg Steventon, aged 98, from Bomere Heath, who was recently awarded France’s highest honour, the Legion d’Honneur, for his efforts in helping to liberate France during the Second World War.
