A PENSIONER has celebrated her century by taking to the skies.
Great grandmother Maud Barlow was determined to mark her big day with a bang.
And she fulfilled a lifelong ambition at City Airport Manchester - in the Barton area of Eccles - when she had a helicopter ride.
The Little Lever Centenarian said: “I’ve always wanted to go in a helicopter and have never managed it.
“I am just fascinated by them.”
