Skydivers from Nottinghamshire take flight for Skegness seaside trip

A team of skydivers landed their parachutes at Skegness Cricket Club after jumping out of an aircraft flying 4,000 feet above the beach.

The group came from Skydive Langar in Nottinghamshire and arranged the skydiving display with the Cricket Club, who were happy to lend their space for the evening.

Speaking of the jump, Josh Carratt, who is Operations Manager and display team leader at Skydive Langar, said:

"Display jumps like the one we did into Skegness are a lot of fun and a great way for us to share our sport with people who might not have seen it before. On this occasion, the jump was more just for fun for our staff, but there have been other displays that we've done with audiences, such as a recent skydive display into a local school."

Skydive Langar is situated a short 25 minute flight away from Skegness in the Vale of Belvoir, Nottinghamshire. In 2021, over 37,000 skydives were made at the centre, including nearly 4,000 tandem skydives and the rest being hobbyists and those learning to jump.
