Paratroopers descend to earth from a Royal Air Force Hercules aircraft during a demonstration of their skills.

Over 120 troops from A Company, 3 PARA, demonstrated their skills to forty NATO Defence Attachés as part of the Airborne Task Force.

The attachés watched as the Paras deployed out of two C130 Hercules aircraft flying at 800 feet above the Everleigh Dropping Zone (DZ) on Salisbury Plain.

The Exercise, named EAGLE'S FLIGHT, included Helicopter assaults and Rapid Air Landings at South Cerney airfield.

3 PARA's main role along with 5th Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland, is to train as part of the British Army's rapid reaction force.
