A hero pilot has been awarded one of the UK's highest bravery awards after a dare-devil rescue of a parachutist who was left dangling by his feet from a plane.
Garth Greyling, who is currently serving in Afghanistan, flew over the skies of Bad Lippspringe, Germany, allowing a parachute team to make their jump.
But unbeknown to him, Major Jeremy Denning was left hanging underneath the plane after his left leg became tangled in a 15ft trailing rope.
The major was facing certain death, with no way of alerting the pilot as he made his final descent to land.
