A 102-year-old woman who celebrated the milestone birthday by throwing herself out of a plane said it’s “mission accomplished”.
Manette Baillie, from Suffolk, undertook the feat to raise money for three causes close to her heart – the East Anglian Air Ambulance, Motor Neurone Disease Association and Benhall Village Hall.

Imagine how she must have been during her young days
This story should read ww2 veteran trys to commit suicide because he can't believe the mess the UK and Europe he fought for has become.
On the other hand Israeli politicians with people the same age are trying to keep them alive for the next 600 year's so we can remember the holocaust forever.😂😂😂😂
Very sweet old dear and very brave. I couldn't do it. Too coward❤😂
