RADIO MAY HAVE SAVED SOLDIER'S LIFE

A soldier who died on his first day of parachute training with the SAS may have been saved if he had been given a radio, an inquest has heard. Capt Daniel Wright, 25, from Newport, died in Oxfordshire, when his parachute failed to open. Personnel on the ground were shouting to him to cut away his main chute but by the time he deployed his reserve it was too late, the inquest heard. Capt Wright's mother has called on the army to learn from his death.
