British grandmother becomes oldest female wing walker - just a year after suffering a stroke

A 97-year-old grandmother has broken her own Guinness World Record to become the oldest female wing walker.

Betty Bromage, who lives at Pegasus Homes’ Latheram House later-living development in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, took to the skies on Tuesday (4 August), a year after suffering a stroke.

For her sixth wing walk, Bromage raised money for the stroke unit at Cheltenham General Hospital, which took care of her when she was ill.

The 97-year-old first tried the extreme sport in 2016.

In 2022, aged 93, she first received the Guinness World Record for being the oldest female wing walker.
