Airborne Forces WW2 Depot Memorial - Hardwick Hall 2024
The Parachute Regimental Association on Parade with the Yorkshire and Midlands Regions taking part in the memorial to the Depot of the Airborne Forces, based here during WW2. Hardwick Hall was chosen to toughen up soldiers ready to become Paratroopers with the 1st and 6th Airborne Divisions. Once they had proven themselves ready for Airborne Forces they would speed march to RAF Ringway, now Manchester Airport, to complete their Parachute training. The two divisions totaled 20,000 men, but with battlefield casualties over the following five years, many more men that this would pass through the depot.

    P Company is a Massive Achievement for the Fittest Soldiers Only. I was a trained infantryman that couldn't get past P Company; P Company sadly isn't anything about jumping from aircraft & more about being an elite small unit, that in the modern theatre of battle makes them undermanned & take to many losses. All infantry Regiments should have the right to go to Brize Norton. The Maroon Beret has over egged the job in hand making it a small elite band of Rightfully so proud brothers. Sadly P Company is an injury waiting to happen.
