Manette Baillie, a 102-year-old World War II veteran, celebrated her birthday by becoming Britain's oldest skydiver. Jumping from 7,000 feet at Beccles Airfield, Baillie aimed to raise funds for three charities dear to her heart: the East Anglian Air Ambulance, the Motor Neurone Disease Association, and the Benhall and Sternfield Ex-Servicemen’s Club.
