‘The first person to wingsuit over the Isle of Man’.
That’s the title Roger Hughes took yesterday (WED) when he jumped from a plane at 15,000 feet over Jurby Airfield.
He works for Lancashire-based Black Knights Parachute Centre; the company taking visitors and locals on tandem skydives this TT fortnight.
Roger Hughes explains what a wingsuit means:
