  • About

    Jumping out of a plane at 10,000 feet might be considered utter madness; but if close friends start to worry about your sanity, assure them you will be securely attached (literally) to a fully qualified instructor throughout. This tandem skydiving experience begins with around an hour of instruction, before you go up. Once you've reached the appropriate altitude, your instructor will help you jump from the plane then you'll get about 30 seconds of freefall, which is so incredible there's no point in us trying to describe it. Your instructor will open the parachute and control your descent while you admire the view and come to terms with the adrenaline rush. You'll take home a photo and DVD of your tandem skydiving experience.

    • Know what it is to fly with this sensational tandem skydive
    • Jump from 10,000 feet harnessed to an expert instructor
    • Freefall for 30 mind-blowing seconds
    • Then your instructor will open the chute, and you'll float serenely to earth

    I bought this as a present for my gf, Cristmas 2010, and she's recently done it. have to say the whole experience was excellent - it exceeded her and my expectations. The whole skydiving crew at the airfield - the instructors, and the camera men - were a really cool bunch of guys, which really helped make a great day to remember. And when the edited DVD of her jump arrived, it completely wowed both of us! The weather was ideal - blue skies and sunshine, with white fluffy clouds below, and the filming and photography was great. It's really inspired both of us, and she can't stop watching it. She's seriously thinking about taking up skydiving now, and I'm mighty tempted myself. Thank you for a truly fantastic day to remember for both of us.

    Absolutely Amazing

    My tandem jump was just amazing. The staff at Redlands were very welcoming and made sure that you were put at ease with everything. The jump was terrifying on the way up and exhilarating on the way down. The views were fantastic and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. A big thank you to everyone at London Skydive and Red Letter Days.

    The Free Fall Experience Is Phonominominal !!

    The experience: Much over used term but this truly was "Awesome." Yes I was nervous but absolutely hyper after doing it! I can't really compare it to anything else. I actually jumped out of a perfectly good plane! Utter madness? My first text to family and friends on return to terra firma Jump was phenomenal. I am still alive? But NOW I have LIVED!? My Jump partner Luke was fantastic and he looked just like a surf dude from Point Break. Absolutely perfect cherry on top of a fantastic day. All part of my mid life crisis and one more off the bucket list! My advice DO IT! Thanks Red Letter Days & all those at Redlands Airfield Swindon.

    Brilliant -Something Everyone Should Try

    It's been 30 years since I last did a parachute jump, but never did this before. Just brilliant and every bit as exiciting as I hoped it would be. Thanks to all the staff at Skydive London for a wonderful experience. The DVD is bringing it all back and I am really glad I have that to remind me of the day. Go for it!

    Breathtaking!

    What a day! The skydiving school were incredibly welcoming and keen to put all nervous jumpers quickly at ease. The briefing was clear and concise and then you just had to wait your turn. The instructors were so confident and reassuring which was good considering you were just about to put your life in their hands! Once in the plane there's no going back you're strapped to the instructor so if he's going so are you! Sit back and enjoy the ride to 10,000 feet and then the door opens and you're on your way. 30 seconds of mind blowing freefall followed by the rush of the parachute inflating, before a sedate descent to the ground - Wow! - Might even have to do it again someday.

    Freefall Is A Must Try For All!!

    A thoroughly awesome day from start to finish! Good facilities at Redlands Airfield:- cafe with a good choice of food, picnic area and clean toilets, sheltered hangar area for safety briefing and training, and the staff were very welcoming! The instructors made the day for me. They were highly skilled, very professional, but you could still have a laugh with them! Most of the instructors have completed well in excess of 1000 jumps, so you know you are in safe hands. I would definitely recommend having the jump filmed! If I had the chance I would do this all over again!

    Wow!

    We purchased this Red Letter Day as an 18th surprise for our daughter. She was quite scared when we first arrived at the venue. Her nerves were soon settled by the friendly welcome from all the staff. They gave full training. As a nervous parent it was good to watch the instructors that had just jumped coming in to the shed and taking great time and extreme care in folding up the parachute for the next student. My daughter's instructor was Tom,a really friendly guy, who chatted away to Naomi and made her feel relaxed. the actual jump was an unbelievable feeling, the extreme rush of the freefall to the calming float to earth once the parachute was opened, just brilliant. I would lastly like to mention THE DVD, fantastic. Don't even think of doing the jump without it. Martin took my daughter's film. It was posted to me a few days later. When we all sat down to watch it we were so impressed. Just brilliant, really professionally done. This will give us lasting memories, FIRST CLASS.

    Wow Wow Wow - Wanna Do It Again!!!

    Fantasic, amazing, brilliant - what more can I say - reached the ground and wanted to go up again. The people at the centre were great, friendly and funny. Was put at ease and felt safe and in good hands. The jump was so good and also got to steer the parachute as well as a tour of the area - A MUST DO for everyone brave or crazy enough to attempt it. WOW, WOW, WOW

    The Most Fantastic Thing I Have Ever Done, Wow Wee

    I can't describe how amazing the feeling of freefalling was apart from that I would recommend it to anyone, fantastic day and without doubt one I would do again.
