Scott Armstrong wants to honour Belinda Taylor by parachuting at the same location where she fell to her death earlier this month.

Belinda, from Totnes, was killed alongside experienced instructor Adam Harrison, 30, near Dunkeswell Aerodrome, near Honiton.

She and Adam were dead within two minutes of leaving the plane, having fallen to the ground at 120mph on Friday, June 13.

An investigation is continuing into their deaths.

Scott said he is “a shell without” Belinda, 48.

He said: “To be honest, I'm dreading what's ahead... None of this was the plan.”

Scott had bought Belinda the skydive as a “thank you” present, he said, after she let his nine-year-old son move into their home.
