BPA Archivists - Andrew Hilton and Graham Spicer  archive@bpa.org.uk    

 

The BPA Archive Project continues to collate and gather materials and always welcomes contact or contributions.

The most recently-updated historical listing of all UK and BPA Related DZs is now available and any corrections or additions will be gratefully received. 

The focus recently has been on the digitisation of BPA Sport Parachutist and Skydive the Mag magazines. The first batch of these will we hope be available online sometime this year. 

See the link below to the very first edition of the BPA's Sport Parachutist magazine in 1964.
