The British Royal Air Force Parachute Team performs a mid-air, hand-holding "link up", thousands of feet over North Africa. The scenes are shot by a fellow parachuter whose camera is mounted on his crash helmet. It looks like "ring around the Rosie" between earth and sky. Three skydivers free falling holding hands. From the top right of the screen you see a fourth parachuter coming into the frame. The fourth parachuter finely makes it completing the hand holding circle. The parachuters form a hand holding line as they free fall. They break apart and prepare for landing.
