CIRENCESTER, England (AFP) - An eight-year-old British boy sought to fly
into the record books Wednesday, "wing walking" at 100 miles (160
kilometres) per hour strapped to the top of a biplane, supporters said.

Tiger Brewer, aiming to be the world's youngest wing walker, stood on top of
his grandfather's plane as it climbed to an altitude of 1,000 feet (300
metres) during the stunt at an airfield near Cirencester in southwest
England.

"It felt amazing, like I was on top of the world," he said afterwards. "It
was cold and windy but it can't be beat. You don't have a parachute, just a
pair of goggles."

His father Colin, who has legally changed his name to Happy Birthday, added:
"He was nervous and although he acts like a big man, he is only eight.

"But he just kept repeating his mantra 'go away fear' and he did it."

A team of witnesses will now send their testimony to Guinness World Records
who they hope will officially declare a new world record.
