Jump4Heroes is The Royal British Legion's Extreme Human Flight Team. All
serving British Army personnel, the team members jump in their spare time,
creating extraordinary spectacles in their Poppy-branded kit to raise awareness
of the Legion.

They are led by Major Alastair Macartney of the Royal Logistics Corp who
is also the current National Skydiving Champion. Other members are WO1 Spencer
Hogg of The Royal Logistic Corps and Cpl Deane 'Smudge' Smith, a Royal Engineer
Para Commando, with support from Cpl Zoe Edwards of The Royal Corps of
Signals.

The intrepid trio specialise in BASE jumping and flights in wingsuits -
looking like colourful flying squirrels - that enable them to fly in excess of
100mph at thousands of feet altitude. They are also champions at guided canopy
flight, skimming inches above the earth in excess of 70mph.

They pursue their exploits all over the world, and have jumped for the Legion
from the 1,000ft Menara Tower in Kuala Lumpur (where Maj Macartney set a new
world record of 32 jumps in 24 hours) to scenic cliffs, bridges and defiles in
South Africa. In Italy recently, they flew with wingsuits from cliffs 4,000ft
high, skimming along the cliff face with fingertips nearly grazing the rock.

The precision, discipline, professionalism and courage of Jump4Heroes are all
qualities encompassed by the British Armed Forces and celebrated by The Royal
British Legion - we are proud of our association with them.

Major Alastair Macartney explains their approach: "We jump to support those
who support us - we use our specialist skills to promote the work of The Royal
British Legion and we look forward to be doing this with a variety of exciting
events in the future."

Says Stuart Gendall, Director Corporate Communications at the Legion: "They
are among the best in the world in their field. By supporting them we are
celebrating their achievements as a team, as well as the best qualities of the
British Armed Forces. They in turn recognise our support of the Serving
community and are very enthusiastic promoters."
