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."

''Fearless'' FELIX BAUMGARTNER who set the world record for skydiving
Salzburg / **Germany OUT** / ''Fearless'' FELIX BAUMGARTNER who set the world record for skydiving. Felix Baumgartner's supersonic skydive from 24 miles above the New Mexico desert was a rousing success, and the Austrian daredevil has described his speed of sound shattering descent as "like swimming without touching the water."Baumgartner, whose Sunday freefall was watched around the world, was at one point traveling at 833 mph or Mach 1.24, and he shattered the speed of sound during his 4 minute 20 second freefall. He is the only human to do so without the aid of a supersonic jet or space shuttle.During the fee fall, Baumgartner was plummeting so fast he was barely a speck on the infrared camera tracking him. For 35 seconds of the fall, he was spinning out of control -- something his team feared could cause him to lose consciousness.For a terror-inducing 4 minutes and 20 seconds Baumgartner freefalls, his body plummeting toward the earth at 833 miles an hour.Baumgartner finally managed to regain control, and deploy his parachute. He somehow managed to land perfectly on his feet in the New Mexico desert.

Felix Baumgartner's supersonic skydive from 24 miles above the New Mexico desert was a rousing success, and the Austrian daredevil has described his speed of sound shattering descent as "like swimming without touching the water."Baumgartner, whose Sunday freefall was watched around the world, was at one point traveling at 833 mph or Mach 1.24, and he shattered the speed of sound during his 4 minute 20 second freefall. He is the only human to do so without the aid of a supersonic jet or space shuttle.During the fee fall, Baumgartner was plummeting so fast he was barely a speck on the infrared camera tracking him. For 35 seconds of the fall, he was spinning out of control -- something his team feared could cause him to lose consciousness.For a terror-inducing 4 minutes and 20 seconds Baumgartner freefalls, his body plummeting toward the earth at 833 miles an hour.Baumgartner finally managed to regain control, and deploy his parachute. He somehow managed to land perfectly on his feet in the New Mexico desert.
