A GRANDMA who plunged 15,000 feet in a charity skydive together with her son said she wanted to do it again - the very moment her feet touched the ground.

Thrill-loving Maureen Morley, 68, of Sandbeds, Keighley, and her son Matthew, 34, finally made their tandem jumps on Saturday after nerve-wracking delays and raised more than £2,000 in aid of the National Autistic Society.

The cash will go to help supporting local youngsters including Mr Morley's son Oscar, nine, who is on the autism spectrum.

Web designer Mr Morley, of Bingley, had been increasingly nervous ahead other skydive which was scheduled to take place a week ago.

But bad weather repeatedly grounded the plane at Cockerham Airfield, Lancashire, Mr Morley said.

"It was first cancelled on Monday because there were 50mph winds and then on Friday we were supposed to go in the afternoon, but it was too overcast."

Naturally fearful of heights, Mr Morley had set himself the task to test his nerves and said by Saturday he was desperate for the ordeal to be over.

"We set off at 5.30am to get their early and I was so tired I just wanted to get on with it.

"And it turned out to be a perfect blue sky morning.

"I was fine in the plane going up a I'd psyched myself up for it, but when the opened the sliding door my heart just sank.

"Because you're strapped in front of the instructor, he then has to dangle you out of the door first so all you have is 15,000 of nothing below you.

"And then we were off and the views of Morecambe Bay and Blackpool Tower were fantastic." Mr Morley said.

After free-falling at 120mph for a minute he then parachuted safely to the ground, arriving just before his mother - who had left the plane first.

"When I was down, I thought 'that was superb,'" Mr Morley said.

"I saw Mum come down and the moment her feet touched the ground she gave me a big thumbs up and called over: 'that was fantastic - I'm ready to go back up again!'"

Their efforts were watched by Mr Morley's son Oscar and daughter Phoebe, seven.

"They were both impressed and Oscar said he wants to do a skydive for the National Autistic Society as soon as he's old enough," said Mr Morley, who raised over £900 while his mother topped £1,250.
