I
do regret giving up parachuting: I think it is true to say that
jumping has always caused me a certain amount of anxiety, and I have
the stomach for it. I have enjoyed the experience, on the rare
occasions when I have managed to get a jump. I do not have the
stomach to wait around for a whole weekend, again and again, and get
nothing. So if I do become self-employed and can use weekdays, and
have time, I shall go again. But I want to keep the first jump fresh
in my memory; it was an intense experience: the preparation and
flight (I was No.4), the moment of 'free' fall in intense blue
nothingness, the flight across the airfield, and a clumsy landing.
There is a danger that subsequent jumps might blur this memory.
