Today is 3 September
SkydiveUWE are extremely lucky to have jumped a wide variety of aircraft over the years both here in the U.K and abroad. They vary from some very common Skydiving aircraft such as the classic Turbo Cessna 206 (withut which what dropzone would be complete?) to the slightly more obscure Turbo Beaver which as far as we know is unique. Currently Hinton has the Turbolet back again and Weston has the Dornier and its good old trusty Islander. Netheravon has its Grand Caravan and Islander.
