USUALLY IF YOU find yourself at a great height, the advice is ‘don’t look down’… but in cases like this, it’s probably worth making an exception.

The four fearless men you see above are the Irish Parachuting team, who are currently taking part in the World Parachuting Championships in Dubai.

The Irish foursome – three of whom are in the Defence Forces – currently stand in a respectable 26th spot in the Formation Skydiving category.

Not a gig for the faint-hearted – but to be fair, the view is excellent.
