High Performance Displays with the Red Devils
Capt Dan Lovegrove looks into the planning and execution of Red Devils displays, using the Lords CWC Final as a medium for discussion. Particular attention is paid to how the Red Devils mitigate risk when using high-performance canopies and wingsuits for high profile events.
Capt Dan Lovegrove has been incredibly lucky to command Parachute Regiment soldiers in many roles during his career and that privilege continues now. He joined 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment in 2015 and took over as Platoon Commander of 8Pl, C Bruneval Company. He has since conducted overseas exercises in the USA, France, Germany and Georgia. In 2017 he was posted to ITC Catterick as a Platoon Commander to train new Parachute Regiment recruits.
With over 200 jumps, Capt Lovegrove is developing his Canopy Relative Work, Tracking and Freeflying. In his spare time he trains arms in the gym and spends time with his family renovating clocks. He was also featured in the 2019 ITV Documentary, Paras: Men of War.
