Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s the leaders of the 1st Sid Vale Scout Group who are set to plummet 15,000 feet through the skies above Dunkeswell this weekend.

The fearless group will be taking on the challenge dressed as superheroes to raise money towards the scout’s new headquarters at the Salcombe Recreational Field.

Chris Parkyn, Chris Hodgson, Phil Collins, Karl Thomas and Lorna Cambers will take to the skies on Sunday, with Phil planning to keep his choice of costume a secret until just before the jump.
