This blog is written by the CO of the PTS Salisbury Rhodesia and extends from the first instructor's course through to specialised Pathfinder and HALO/HAHO operational jumps done by the Rhodesian SAS as well as the RLI.
I am sure American readers will enjoy the inventive techniques and equipment used while the country was under sanctions. The informal attitude of a very professional bunch of people who often did as many as three operational jumps a day in that small and brave landlocked country.
