'You feel like you're a part of the plane'

A man with terminal lung cancer has achieved his dream of wing walking.

Mike Hind-Woodward, from Whissendine in Rutland, was given between one and four years to live following his diagnosis two years ago.

The sponsored challenge meant he raised more than £4,000 for a rotary club.

"I've always found great satisfaction and enjoyment from helping other people," he said.

A spokesperson for the Rotary Club of Melton Mowbray Belvoir said: "All of the money raised will go to supporting local community and humanitarian causes over the next 12 months."
