An email from a friend of mine who is as mad as a hatter!
All,
Please check out this Veterans leap from the north face of one of the most dangerous mountains in the world, the Eiger. But not before bowing their heads in silence in memory of the fallen. They then fly their wingsuits in an arrowhead wingman formation at speeds over 100 mph.
This expedition was done to raise awareness of the amazing work the Royal British Legion does in aiding our troops and veterans.
Support Our Troops by Sharing this video. Comment on the YouTube page as well to help get the message out. This was carried out by Ex Commando Ord Sqn WO1 Spence Hogg, 59 Commando Sqn Sgt Deane Smith & May Al Macartney RLC.

Be lucky
Spence

God and the Soldier, all men adore, In time of danger and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.

If I have praised my comrades too highly I make no apology, for they were beyond all praise.
