GordonH 0 #126 August 7, 2007 The Irish National RW Record is now 30, with this 30-way Shamrock-shaped formation, built on Monday 6th August 2007 using a Skyvan and Porter at 15,000ft. The criteria for a National Record here, is for all jumpers to be either Irish Nationals or Northern Irish Nationals - or other nationalities who have more than 50 jumps in Ireland and more than 6 months jumping here...basically true Irish or ex-Pat's who are now living and jumping here. Blue skies! Gordon Beware of advice from those with more posts than jumps ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brettski74 0 #141 August 7, 2008 Australia completed a 25-way CRW diamond under guidance of Chris Gay. This was at Skydive Ramblers at Toogoolawah last year. I'm not sure of the exact date, but it was before I got there in April 2007. I think that all of the Aussies from the world record were part of it, so they could give you more information if you need. Canada completed a 21-way CRW diamond a month or two ago out at Eden North, organized by Lyal Waddell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
