I did everything the lads did and the stigma soon shifted.

Once you’re recovered it’s back to normal

I wasn’t finding joy in things anymore

In the forces we were always happy to be doing our job

That's when the adventurous part of my life started

After 36 years it has been so much more than I envisaged

If you don't do it right, you won't get the results

It's the connection with other people that I love best

We need to attract the best

It was the most beautiful sight in the world

I'd have been quite happy to go in at less than 100 ft

When the engines started up you felt the earth move
