A NEW Milton armed forces charity has called for daredevil volunteers to join them for a special “D-day drop” fundraising skydive next month.

The Pilgrim Bandits was formed by ex-special forces personnel with the intention of providing hope and motivation through expeditions and physical challenges for wounded men and women for all the services.

They are aiming to break their own record following the success of last year’s event when 205 chutes filled the skies.

They have invited the Guinness World Records adjudicator to record the feat on June 8.

Pilgrim Bandits spokeswoman Deborah Risbridger said: “The jump provides a unique opportunity for the amputees to share the experience with a wide range of friends and supporters.

“We are obviously hoping to raise some funding for future projects but the focus for the day is for everyone to share a great experience and have the chance to seal those memories with a new world record.“
