More Sky Laughing by Roger Payne

This unashamedly politically incorrect collection of 257 true stories gathered from former members of The Parachute Regiment and Airborne forces is almost guaranteed to have any former Para in stitches.

Those who don’t appreciate the ‘Queens Workplace English’ should refrain from purchasing a copy as it celebrates the particular madness of the British airborne soldier from the Regiment’s inception in World War 2 until now. The humour is sick, perverse, downright rude, definitely weird and warped – a consequence of the vocation each individual has chosen.

These are hard men that have survived one of the toughest selection processes in the world . They wear the famous maroon beret, silver winged cap badge and blue cloth wings with pride.
