The<br />
Tigers<br />
PARACHUTE<br />
DISPLAY TEAM<br />
The Tigers are the flagship team<br />
for the Princess of Wales’s Royal<br />
Regiment, whose seniority stems<br />
from the Tangier Regiment of 1661!<br />
See these experienced<br />
parachutists drop onto the beach and<br />
sea, smoke trailing, flags flying, performing<br />
amazing formations both in the air and under<br />
the parachute. The Tigers have many display<br />
routines, all dynamic in style and will hold you<br />
captivated throughout the entire routine.<br />
The team was formed in 1986 and originally<br />
known as “The Flying Dragons”, a legacy that<br />
still continues to this day.<br />
The Tigers, lead by Captain Ian Wicks, have<br />
performed at many events as far a field as<br />
Berlin, Kosovo, Cyprus, and more recently at<br />
the opening of the birthday celebrations for<br />
Her Majesty Queen Margrethe ll of Denmark.<br />
The team now provide additional support to<br />
the Army with an active role in recruitment<br />
and image promotion.<br />
