Unlucky break: having landed safely after his sponsored parachute jump, disaster struck Stan Todd while he was running to gather up his parachute—he tripped on a furrow and broke his ankle! Stan, who is a member of Brighton's lifeboat crew, made the jump with Karen Eaves (I), girlfriend of a fellow crew member. Despite the painful ending to his endeavours, Paul, seen here with his baby daughter, Sarah, was more than happy with the £1,000 they collected for the station.
