Inside a training hall at the British Army Parachute Training School in Ringway, Cheshire, affectionately known as Kilkenny's Circus after their most famous chief instructor or 'circus-master', Wing Commander J.C. Kilkenny, OBE. In the foreground there are several trainees hanging from harnesses suspended from the ceiling. In the background there are more trainees jumping in turn from a platform near the ceiling, some swing from the rafters.
