97-year-old Betty Bromage breaks own record as oldest female wing walker

Betty Bromage, a 97-year-old woman from Cheltenham, has broken her own Guinness World Record as the oldest female wing walker after recovering from a stroke in 2025. She completed the challenging activity while strapped to an aircraft, raising funds for the stroke unit at Cheltenham General Hospital, where she received treatment. This marks her sixth wing walk, with her first at age 87. Despite ongoing speech difficulties due to the stroke, Bromage remains active and motivated, driven by a desire to stay engaged and contribute to her community. Her efforts are supported by hospital staff and charity representatives, who highlight the positive impact of her fundraising. Bromage, a former nurse, is inspired by a motivational quote she encountered during her career and continues to pursue adventurous challenges, including planning a new endeavor for her 100th birthday.
