    Wow!
    4,500 jumps!
    Is that an average amount, for a person of your profession?
    All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

      No, but I didn't have a 'normal' career. I spent 12 years in the Pathfinders, where we carried out HALO and HAHO jumps regularly, and 4 years in the Red Devils Freefall Team (the British version of the Golden Knights), where we carried out around 250-300 jumps a year. I've also continued jumping since leaving the military.

      At over 200 jumps (approximately 150 static-line & 60 HALO), I thought that I had alot!!
      A-T-B Tom! 😊

    Is my protractor correct. Numbers start from right and go left

      Yes, you put the corner on the location you want to take a grid ref from and read back until you get to the grid line.
