UK: 97-Year-Old Woman Breaks Her Own Record for Oldest Wing Walker
Bromage completed her sixth wing walk and raised money for Cheltenham General Hospital stroke services as she extended her own Guinness World Record.
- On Friday, August 7, 97-year-old Betty Bromage completed her sixth wing walk at RFC Rendcomb Airfield in Cirencester, extending her Guinness World Record as the oldest female wing walker.
- Bromage decided to raise funds for the stroke unit at Cheltenham General Hospital, where she received care following a 2025 stroke, aiming to demonstrate that age should not restrict ambition.
- The flight reached speeds of 150mph at 3,000ft, including a barrel roll and a loop, while AeroSuperBatics pilot David Barrell called Bromage "a true inspiration" for her adventurous spirit.
- Steve Bangs, chief executive of Pegasus Homes, noted staff watched her adventures for 10 years with "admiration, amazement and, if we're honest, a little disbelief," while hospital fundraisers praised the feat.
- Bromage first began wing walking at 87 after moving into a retirement community, continuing to challenge herself after securing her previous record in 2022 at age 93.
