A group of female skydivers have set a new record for the largest mid-air upside-down formation.
The 12 women managed to complete a successful “head-down” formation while plummeting to earth at about 120mph, achieving a new British women’s record.
The complex manoeuvre was completed about 4,270m (14,000ft) in the air and required the women to fly together with their heads facing downwards while holding onto each other’s arms.
