31.08.2026 | 39-way UK Head-Down Record

It’s official!

We had all the odds stacked against us this weekend:
- Challenging weather
- A bunch of illnesses
- No Twin Otter (stuck in France due to weather)
- Altitude restrictions

But we managed 6 attempts… and we did it 🎉

Massive thank you to @skydivelangar for their incredible support throughout the year, always accommodating our needs and allowing us to run events in the UK at very reasonable prices. And to pilots @j0be_1 , @gilmore_ben , @gdtho.mas , and Dave for their consistent, tight formation flying.

Thanks to the UK Vertical organisers who have put a bunch of time into all of this, running a camp a month from March to build up the team and engineering the record formation to build from 3 caravans from ~14,500ft: @mafull @greglucas1 @martinjroberson @esharp.22 , and in particular @danguest1 who dropped out of the formation today to fly camera.

To @alexthepotter55 from @caelumsystems for providing SkyTraX units for all flyers so we could nerd out on data visualisations and ultimately improve build efficiency and break-off safety.

To @chantalalice_ for judging the record and making it official after a long weekend at FS nationals.

And thank you to all the participants, turning up on day 1 with an appalling weather forecast and persisting through the 3 days with great attitudes and safe flying. Everyone’s put in a lot of work and progression this year, and it’s paid off 🎉

UK vertical flying is back in business.

Sometimes you’ve just got to shuffle off the bullshit and jump with your mates.

Having a blast with people I’ve known for years, flying at such a high level. So good to be back at Netheravon after so long—and what an absolute blast of a jump.

From mountain trails to waterfall swims, tiny frogs, and beach beers… 🍻

Albania, you outdid yourself. 🇦🇱

P.s. I called the dog Shelly and I wish I took her home with me 🐕
