The Tigers were formed over 20 years ago and are firmly established as one of the top parachute display teams within the United Kingdom. The team has been very successful in competitions throughout this period, performing at events such as the British National Parachute Championships and the World Parachute Championships.
The Tigers currently have several minor sponsors; however they’re always on the look out for a major sponsor to support the team. If you believe you or your company might be able to help with sponsorship of the team, please click here for their website and more information.
The Tigers are the flagship team for the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment, whose seniority stems from the Tangier Regiment of 1661 and thus has the distinction of being the senior English Infantry Regiment of the line. Soldiers of the Regiment are recruited from Kent, Surrey, Sussex, London, Hampshire, the Isle of White and the Channel Islands. Members of The Tigers consist of volunteers from various battalions of the regiment.
The Tigers perform displays throughout the country, the majority of which would be carried out within the recruiting areas as mentioned above. The team is led by Sergeant Dave Clarke, who is also a British Parachute Association Instructor and Army Parachute Association Jumpmaster.
The Princess Of Wales’s Royal Regiment Freefall Parachute Team 'The Tigers' is one of the official parachute display teams of the British Army.
