Unlucky Parachute Man

Story / Posted by Rich

I was given this image by Carol of The Friends of Dartmouth Park during my research for West Bromwich Connections. I asked if anything funny ever happened at the park and she told me the story of the poor man pictured. During an event in the 80s he had the whole park to land in, but managed to land on the war memorial. Fortunately the fire brigade were already on hand to help him down.
