The Queen Mother, apparently.

I notice in the photos that the Queen's rig has a non-collapsible PC that is rather large by skydiving standards, her canopy has 5 vents on the bottom skin, and her rig appears to be curiously lacking a reserve.

1- it is not Queenmum, it was the Queen herself
2-it is a helicopter, so BASE gear, but for a skydive

God saved the Queen! Why you so worried about her lacking a main? I thought it was awesome :D

So basejumping is becoming a olimpic discipline in 4 years?

The canopy also has a tail pocket...

 
God Bless Her Majesty - this obviously is an example of someone who has kept her hobby 'old school' and 'under the radar' until now...

I look forward to sharing an exit point with her sometime...

Obviously she will have to bring beer and drive the first few times but having HRH on the team will make certain things a lot easier in future...

Perhaps we can use the corgi's as look outs?

I bet she could pull a few strings if yall got busted?!?!

love to know the exit altitude.

Gary Connery dressed up as Queen Elisabeth, and Mark Sutton before their James Bond helicopter jump into the opening ceremony of the London Olympics!!

Absolutely - the police swear an oath to protect her so I doubt we'd have any trouble at all
