Sky’s the limit for Coningsby’s fearless cadets

Fearless five are reaching for the sky when it comes to fundraising

Sergeant Danny Sutherland, Sergeant David Gibson, Corporal Sarah Plowman, Corporal Ethan Stephens and Sergeant Heather Sutherland are planning to jump out of an aeroplane at 13,ooo feet, with a parachute each of course.

The daring dive is planned for Saturday, May 11 and they hope to raise in excess of £1,000 from their death defying feat.

Sergeant Heather Sutherland said: “At 17 Squadron, we are always looking for imaginative fundraising ideas.

“Jumping out of an aeroplane seemed like a good idea at the time.

“It’s for a good cause and I am sure it will be a lot of fun”.

The Corps is open to all young people between the ages of 12 and 17.

They are continually looking to recruit not only young people, but adult volunteers.
