The two Juniors involved in the Pipeline accident were John Connolly and "Mac" McKenzie both RHF. Connolly was killed, McKenzie was very badly injured. Years later I bumped into Mac at the old Army Sport Parachute Centre Netheravon he was a in the process of obtaining an instructors rating. Never saw him after that. Tragic! Connolly (who will always be a teenager in our mind's eye) was a decent rather quiet guy with a mischievous, good natured sense of humour.
