Tribute to ex team member Noah Stephenson
Noah Stephenson joined the Army in 1994 aged 17 and served with the 3rd Battalion of the Pararchute Regiment (3 PARA) before joining the Red Devils in 1999. Noah left the team and the Army in May 2006 before taking a job as a civilian bodyguard in Iraq. Tragically Noah was killed by a roadside bomb on 19th October 2006 while leading a vehicle convoy in Iraq.
If you didn't know Noah personally then you will almost certainly be familiar with his work. Noah was one of the team's cameramen and is responsible for many of the spectacular images on this website - including the '6-Way Star' image used as the basis for the website. His awesome video footage can also be seen on numerous team films.

Noah was a true skydiving all-rounder who loved all diciplines in the sport and excelled at all of them. He was very proud of his time with the Red Devils. He was the nicest, most genuine person you could ever meet. He was friendly, likeable, very funny, completely unflappable and extremely laid-back.
He will be missed by everybody that knew him.
