A 97-year-old man from Bournemouth is believed to have become the UK’s oldest skydiver after jumping out of a plane at 3,000m for the RNLI.

George Moyse jumped, in a tandem dive with an instructor, on 4 April. His grandson Edward also completed a skydive on the day, in aid of the Royal Air Forces Association.

George, who has since turned 98, said on touching down: ‘I enjoyed that! It felt really good and I’d recommend it to anyone! ’He is just one of the RNLI’s many daredevil supporters. Upcoming adrenalin-packed events include bungee jumping in Sunderland, abseiling in Anglesey and rallying from Wexford to Mongolia! Visit rnli.org.uk/events to find out more or see RNLI Compass.
