A 95-year-old British great-grandfather from Cheltenham has became the world's oldest wing walker. Ivor Button took to the skies strapped to the top of a plane which took off from Staverton Airport, in Gloucestershire.
He beat the previous record set by late Tom Lackey, who was 93 when he performed the stunt in 2013. Widower Ivor said: ''I’m of sound mind! I was not scared. I was more concerned about getting cold.''
Ivor, who has 17 grandchildren and step-grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, is not new to skyward ventures - having already enjoyed gliding, ballooning and micro-lighting. He was hit with the flying bug early on - in 1932 when he was six years old his parents took him to Sir Alan Cobham’s Flying Circus.
