102-Year-Old Skydiver Gets Letter From Prince William
August 27, 2024
When 102-year-old skydiver Manette Baillie made a smooth landing back to earth, she broke a record on the way down. By taking that leap, she's now the oldest skydiver in the UK. Baillie served in the Women's Royal Naval Service during World War II. Baillie raised over $13,000 for neuroscience research, veterans and the East Anglian Air Ambulance, a charity that brings those in medical distress to the care they need. Prince William, a former East Anglian helicopter pilot, wrote Baillie a note before her dive.
