- By Filipa Gaspar

A BRITISH daredevil is preparing to become the first person to fly across the English Channel in a wingsuit.

Amber Forte, 33, will jump from a plane at 35,000ft then glide 20.5 miles using nothing but her outfit, which has fabric webbing on the arms and legs.

She already holds the record for the fastest woman in a wingsuit after reaching the incredible speed of 175.8mph.

Terrifying
