The 102-year-old World War II veteran became the oldest parachutist in Britain to jump from a plane at an altitude of 7,000 feet (2.1 km - Glavkom) over East England
Manette Bailey was able to take this leap to raise funds for charitable organizations. This is not the first time she has gone on extreme adventures. On her 100th birthday, she drove over 200 km/h in a Ferrari around the Silverstone track, where Formula 1 races are held.
Earlier, an interesting case occurred in Lviv – a pensioner was fined for driving a toy Lamborghini.
