<p>A 95-year-old British great-grandfather has became the world's oldest wing walker.</p><p>Ivor Button took to the skies yesterday (9) strapped to the top of a plane which took off from Staverton Airport, in Gloucestershire.</p><p>He beat the previous record set by late Tom Lackey, who was 93 when he performed the stunt in 2013.</p><p>Widower Ivor said: ''I’m of sound mind!</p><p>"I was not scared. I was more concerned about getting cold.''</p><p>Ivor, who has 17 grandchildren and step grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, is not new to skyward ventures - having already enjoyed gliding, ballooning and micro-lighting.</p><p>He was hit with the flying bug early on - in 1932 when he was six years old his parents took him to Sir Alan Cobham’s Flying Circus.</p><p>It gave thousands of people their first-ever flying experience - in an age when flying was outside the experience of most people.</p><p>Dad-of-four Ivor, from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, said: “They paid ten shillings for all of us to go up in an open cockpit aircraft.</p><p>''I was so small I couldn’t see over the cockpit, but I must have been strapped in.</p><p>“I was most disappointed when I went back to school the next day. They didn’t believe me, but I just loved it.”<br></p><p>According to Guinness World Records, the previous oldest wing walker was Thomas Lackey.</p><p>He was aged 93 years and 100 days when completed a wing walk between Stranraer, Scotland, and Derry, Northern Ireland, in 2013.</p><p>Tom landed safely at City of Derry airport after a one-hour, 21-minute journey across the Irish Sea.</p><p>Ivor's sky-high adventure raised money charity Ataxia UK - a condition which affects co-ordination, balance and speech, and is suffered by some of Ivor's family.</p><p>In most cases there's no cure for ataxia and supportive treatment to control the symptoms is necessary.</p>
