This historic footage of jumping at Aldinga in 1962 is from Col Parsons' collection. The Dragon Rapide, SA's first jumpship, features in the early sequences.
SA skydiving legends in this rare film include Ted Harrison, Phil Edwards and Brian Brown.
Old 8mm movie camera technology is a far cry from today's high definition options – but the old gear, early relative work and baton passing attempts captured in this film make memorable viewing.

Hard landings! Those boots served a purpose. Great beat up by the pilot.
How about Phil Edwards' visor? Precursor of the full face helmet.
