102-Year-Old Becomes UK's Oldest Skydiver

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. She raised over £10,000 but aims to reach £30,000. Baillie, who previously drove a Ferrari at 130mph for her 100th birthday, hopes her daring act will inspire other elderly people to stay active and adventurous. Her jump has garnered widespread admiration on social media, with many praising her fearless spirit.
