Red Devils parachutists 'just doing job'

Two members of the Red Devils display team who had a narrow escape when part of a display went wrong have said they were "just doing their job".

The Army freefall parachute display team was performing at the Whitehaven Air Show in Cumbria on Friday night when Corporal Wayne Shorthouse's parachute failed.

Corporal Mike French said his "training kicked in", allowing him to catch his team-mate and help guide him into Queens Dock.
