92-Year-Old Spitfire Pilot Skydives for Charity

92-year-old Spitfire Pilot Peter Proctor has skydived for charity despite having two artifical hips and an artificial knee. The Veteran never had to use his parachute during the Second World War but got the chance to jump with an RAF Falcon. He did the jump to raise money for the RAF Association and reached speeds of around 100 MPH before his canopy was deployed.
