92-year-old former Spitfire pilot becomes Britain's oldest male skydiver from height of 12,000ft, Cambridgeshire, Britain - 03 Sep 2014
*Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/pdhn
A 92-year-old former Spitfire pilot has become Britain's oldest male skydiver - leaping out of a plane at an incredible 12,000 feet. War veteran Peter Proctor flew Spitfires and Hurricanes every day for four years during the Second World War, but never had to use a parachute. Now, nearly 70 years after leaving the RAF, the plucky pensioner, who walks with a stick, has made his first skydive, falling at around 120mph before the parachute opened. "It was amazing and very exhilarating, I'd definitely do it again. In fact I wouldn't have minded taking the plane up myself," said Peter, from Southport, Merseyside. "I flew planes in the Second World War but everyone was surprised because I never had to use a parachute, thank goodness. "I didn't feel nervous before the skydive, the jump didn't bother me one bit."

A 92-year-old former Spitfire pilot has become Britain's oldest male skydiver - leaping out of a plane at an incredible 12,000 feet. War veteran Peter Proctor flew Spitfires and Hurricanes every day for four years during the Second World War, but never had to use a parachute. Now, nearly 70 years after leaving the RAF, the plucky pensioner, who walks with a stick, has made his first skydive, falling at around 120mph before the parachute opened. "It was amazing and very exhilarating, I'd definitely do it again. In fact I wouldn't have minded taking the plane up myself," said Peter, from Southport, Merseyside. "I flew planes in the Second World War but everyone was surprised because I never had to use a parachute, thank goodness. "I didn't feel nervous before the skydive, the jump didn't bother me one bit."
