Tiger - “yes, that is my real name” - Brewer took to the skies on the wing of his grandfather’s biplane at 11am and returned to ground about 25 minutes later.
Speaking afterwards, Tiger said: ‘It was amazing flying on the wing but very windy. I feel brilliant to be the world record holder.’
The London-based youngster is the grandson of Vic Norman, who operates the only formation wing-walking team in the world.
Grandfather Vic said: It was wonderful to fly Tiger, it meant so much to have him on my wing - he was a natural’.
His mother, Zoe, had been very relaxed at what her son wanted to do.
‘My siblings and I have all grown up doing all sorts of weird things and I wouldn’t let him do it if I didn’t think it was perfectly safe,’ she told Sky News Online.
‘He’s with my father and I trust him absolutely.’
As for Tiger himself, he earlier described himself as ‘excited, and a teeny bit nervous - and happy.’
‘I’ve stood on a biplane but I’ve never flown on one,’ he said.
