Yup, Empuria. You a jumper too? I have met quite a few Lotus owning skydivers, but none in Scotland yet. One of the guys I was jumping with in Empuria had just written off his Exige S and was about to order a fully tricked out Elise SC to replace it.

I've been tempted - two of my flatmates are pretty much semi-professional... they're away this weekend at black knight's down south (they used to jump at st andrews but had to move when it closed)
Where do you usually jump? They'll be at empuria this summer at some point and christmas time as well...

Delayed response - been away the last week. Mostly jump abroad as Scottish DZs are pretty duff (slow piston engined planes, poor facilities etc), but also go to Black Knights fairly regularly as they have an awesome plane - 14k on every lift. I have jumped at St Andrews a bit so I know some of the people there - there is a good chance I will have bumped into your flatmates. What are their names?

Is that the Porter? No matter how hard I resist I can't help but pick up skydiving info...
Daz and Ewan. They used to do the tandem videos at St A now they've started doing them at Black Knights - seems most of the old St A jumpers have headed down that way.

It is a Porter, but it is the fastest climbing one in Europe, F-GODZ, known as Godzilla. About 11minutes to 14k and an impressive 2 minutes to come back down
Been on a couple of loads with Daz - top FS dude and wingsuiter IIRC. Going to be at Black Knights this coming weekend (not in the Exige though...)
