MEMBERS of the 19th Ayrshire Explorer Scout Group dropped in to Strathallan airfield recently - by parachute.

They took part in their first jump using a static line following an intense training course.

And the scouts, aged 16, 17 and 18, are planning to take part in a second jump soon.

It wasn’t a charity event this time - they wanted to make the parachute jumps purely living the dream with the spirit of adventure.
