Betty Bromage, aged 97, has once again set a new Guinness World Record as the oldest female wing walker. The achievement took place at RFC Rendcomb Airfield near Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Ms Bromage surpassed her previous record, demonstrating remarkable determination and skill at an advanced age.

The wing walking event served a charitable purpose, with Ms Bromage raising funds for the stroke unit at Cheltenham General Hospital. She received treatment at the hospital’s stroke unit the previous year, which inspired her to support the facility through this daring endeavor.

Wing walking involves climbing onto and performing on the wings of an aircraft while in flight, a pursuit that requires significant physical strength, balance, and courage. Ms Bromage’s accomplishment highlights both her personal resilience and her commitment to giving back to the medical community that aided her recovery.

The event attracted attention locally, celebrating not only her record-breaking feat but also her advocacy for stroke care and rehabilitation services.
