History

UK Parachuting has a 25 years history and was formerly known as the Ipswich Parachute Centre, and operated for many years at Ipswich Airport. The airport was finally closed down in 1996 by the Local Authority in order for the site to be developed. After a brief period of operations in Oxfordshire and Cambridgeshire, UK Parachuting established a permanent base at Old Buckenham airfield in 1998. The centre currently does around 7,000 jumps per year of which 2,000 of them are tandem jumps, we also have around 200 club members that turn to fun jump throughout the year. The club is expanding all the time in every discipline and in 2008 sees the arrival of there own Cessna Caravan 208(14 place Turbine)
