1980 Press Photo Mr Winston Churchill, MP for Stretford

MP's parachute jump for Charity delayed owning to bad weather: Mr. Winston Churchill, Conservative MP for Stretford, taking part in pre-parachuting training in a hanger at Aldershot when 19 MP's underwent a crash course with the Red Devils, the Parachute Regiment's free-fall team, with the object of dropping from a Islander aircraft from 2.500ft in aid of charity. Bad weather prevented the jumpwhich, it is hoped, will take place later this week in aid of cancer research, the NSCC and the Airey Neave Memorial Trust.
