Have you ever dared to do a parachute jump - or cheered on a skydiving friend or family member?
Today we are looking back at parachute jumps at Ipswich Airport and around Suffolk and north Essex in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
Often the skydivers were raising money for charity at these events, as well as enjoying themselves.
Some of the pictures in this Days Gone By gallery were taken at the former Ipswich Airport, where UK Parachuting, then known as Ipswich Parachute Centre, ran weekly jumps.

The airport also ran competitions with entrants keen to be crowned Suffolk’s best skydiver.
Ipswich Airport finally closed in 1997, and UK Parachuting now has a centre at Beccles Airfield.
