Where are they now?? Can't Post
I am trying to contact the following for the 40th anniversary of RAPA:-

Bob Runacres
Mick Jackson
Bob Acraman

They were all past Chief Instructors, if anyone knows them I would appreciate contact details.

Cheers

If everyone understood what "RAPA" was, it might help figure out how to track them down and locate them.

Sorry all.

RAPA is the Rhine Army Parachute Association, a military run DZ in Germany.

The guys above were all Chief Instructors.

Bob Acraman returned from Germany to open a sport parachute club at Thruxton called RSA Parachute Club. (Robert Sidney Acraman)
He used a C172 and a C180 as his jump ships.
I left the club in 1977 and saw him just once a few years after at another 'project' he was undertaking in the Andover area. No word or sight of him since then.
