Wiltshire woman, 99, becomes world’s oldest wing walker

Sam Conway, from the air ambulance charity, called Helga a “legend”, as she has raised more than £1,300 for it.

“She looks as though she’s had the time of her life,” she added.

Meanwhile, Betty – whose record she beat – offered her congratulations, but joked: “I can’t wait until I’m 100 and I can do it again, I’ll beat you again.”

Betty, who has already completed six wing walks, said: “I really enjoy doing it – it’s a bit frightening at first isn’t it? Just the apprehension of it.”
