PARACHUTING AT WIGRAM
Practice For N.Z. Titles Members of the Christchurch Parachute Club yesterday practised at Wigram for the national championships to be held there on April 16. The parachutists were pleased with the practice. They are now down to about a 30 to 40 yards error in jumps where they are required to land on a marked spot. The jumps were made in two sets from a Domine aircraft. Four parachutists left the aircraft at 1700 feet, and three made ripcord descents from 3300 feet. The parachutists who took part were:—First set: R. Dellow (club president), P. Smith, E. O’Keefe, P. Wylie. Second set: T. Shipston, R. Versteegh, T. Walsh.
