Hairdresser Charlie, 23, of Ross Close, took part in a tandem skydive with the Red Devils parachute display team from the army.
She jumped out of a plane from 13,000ft above Netheravon airfield near Salisbury with her skydiving partner.
"It was breathtaking once I got out of the plane. It was amazing to see the countryside from that high up," she said.

"We freefalled for about 45 seconds before my partner pulled the parachute."
