Constituents of mine had the privilege of parachutists landing in their back gardens instead of the airfield.
Perhaps, because it is a smaller island, there will be fewer parachutists.
If every man is his own garrison, in his own home, it will be more difficult for the parachutists.
The whole thing was very nebulous, and it was thought that at any moment we might see parachutists dropping down from heaven.
Now, wherever he comes down the parachutist comes down into a hornet's nest, as he will find.
For instance, lonely moors are the kind of place where parachutists may land.
Is he suggesting that highly trained troops should be dispersed all over the country, to be available wherever parachutists land?
After all, they would not sound the same as they would if they were being rung by the vicar when 25 parachutists had arrived.
