A 99-year-old World War II veteran from Cornwall recently took to the skies in a glider.
Kate Orchard took off from the Seahawk Gliding Club near Helston and was watched on by her family on the ground.
The former warrant officer said being able to do this at her age made her feel she had achieved something, the BBC reported.
