Manette Baillie, celebrating her 102nd birthday, set a new record as Britain’s oldest skydiver by jumping from a plane at 6,900 feet. Previously, at 100, she drove a Ferrari on a racing circuit. Baillie’s skydive also served to raise funds for charity, and she received support from the Prince of Wales.
