Eight-year-old becomes youngest wing-walker

Eight-year-old Tiger Brewer has flown into the record books as the world’s youngest wing-walker.

The grandson of Vic Norman, leader and owner of Team Guinot - the world’s only formation wing-walking team - took to the skies above Gloucestershire today in a bid to enter the Guinness Book of Records.

Tiger was strapped to the wing of a Boeing Stearman bi-plane piloted by his granddad at Rendcomb airfield, near Cirencester.

"It was quite scary but once I was up there it was really really good," he said.

"The view was amazing, everything looked so small I could see everyone below but couldn't make out who was who.

"I want to do it again now. It really was amazing. The only thing that hurt was the windburn, but apart from that I loved it."

The current record was set by 11-year-old Guy Mason - son of Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason – in 2001.
