This was the exhilarating moment when a Burnham-On-Sea resident hurtled through the clouds to raise money for a local charity.
Nicola Henshaw, a nurse from Burnham, made the brave tandem jump to raise funds for St Margaret’s Hospice, where she works.
Nicola described the jump – which she made at the home of The Army Parachute Association at Netheravon Airfield in Wiltshire over the weekend, “the most exhilarating experience of my life.”
Nicola, and several other local jumpers who were also in the group, are now counting up their sponsorship money, which they estimate will be around £3,000.

The jump was run by Click and Jump Limited, a Taunton-based skydiving events company. Last autumn, Burnham-On-Sea hairdresser Emma Snook did a similar fundraising jump.
