A 97-year-old British woman successfully broke her own world record for being the oldest female wing walker. She set the previous world record four years ago. Betty Bromage has done six wing walks in the last decade, she told the BBC. Her most recent record-breaking wing walk was a fundraiser for Cheltenham General Hospital’s stroke unit, where she spent time after suffering a stroke last year.
