Chief Instructor
Pete is one of our most experienced instructors and has been in the sport for may years. His tally of more than 5000 jumps includes many of the disciplines old and new. He is a qualified Advanced instructor/Examiner, Tandem Master, AFF instructor and is well on his way to mastering the new field of free-flying. On a rainy day he can be found secreted away in the rigging room repairing old kit as he is also an Advanced Rigger. He is easily identified at lunchtimes by the arrival of his daughter, delivering sandwiches that make up his staple diet.

Manager and Display Team Leader
One of Headcorn's most experienced instructors. She was for 9 years the CCI, making way for Pete Sizer in 1998. Her total of over 7000 jumps is probably an underestimate as in her early skydiving days she was a member of the British Style and Accuracy team. She is also an Advanced instructor/examiner, takes responsibility for many AFF students, and also a qualified pilot who has been known to fly the Islander on occasion. If that is not enough, she has twin girls to keep her busy. She is also the first point of contact for demonstration jumps.

Instructor and Tandem Instructor
Another one of Headcorn's most experienced jumpers with well over 7000 jumps, which includes more than 4000 Tandem descents (too scared to jump on his own) in spite of being renowned for his dreadful jokes and sharp wit. As well as being a Tandem Instructor, he can be found making WARP jumps with recently qualified A Licence jumpers, assisting them towards FS1.

Club Secretary

Vicky is the Club secretary dealing with all the day to day office administration.  Whether you want to book a parachute course, tandem skydive or purchase jump tickets, Vicky is your first port of call. You’ll be able to contact her at the Club during office hours and at weekends.  After jumping has finished for the day she will give you another warm welcome in the Wings bar/restaurant which she runs, on the airfield, with her partner Paul.  She likes to keep busy!

Managing Director  

David is the Boss.  Headcorn Parachute Club’s chairman in other words. David learnt to skydive with the Royal Marines in 1970.  He founded the Headcorn Parachute Club in 1978.  For many years he was the Chief Instructor and Chief Pilot.  He can still be seen, on occasion, at the Club but has now relaxed to enjoy the finer things in life not least of which is the local golf club in Biddenden.  David is married to Pip and has two young lads to keep in line.

Club Pilot

Simon Izzard has been flying the Cessna Caravan and Islander for a while now. He is a fantastic Parachute pilot and loves every minute of it. He has another talent too which happens to be a talented DJ.
