Wing walker, 97, attempting to break own Guinness World Record

A 97-year-old grandmother who holds the Guinness World Record for being the oldest female wing walker wants to improve on her achievement with a sixth wing walk.

Betty Bromage, who lives in Gloucestershire, said she became an adrenaline-seeker to “challenge” herself after she suffered health problems, including a stroke which still impacts her mobility.

“The last thing on earth I want to do is lie in bed and have people run around after me,” she said.

Bromage has participated in the extreme sport – which involves moving along the wings of a flying plane – since 2016, both for fun and to fundraise. Her next wing walk, on 4 August, will be in aid of a stroke unit which supported her.

The world record holder from Cheltenham developed an adventurous streak after she moved to an assisted living facility, where she found herself with a lot of free time.

She said her interest in wing walking stemmed from memories of an advert in 1991.
