SUPERMARKET worker Nicci Cann was left with her head in the clouds after she was chosen to take part in a daredevil wing walk stunt.

Mrs Cann, 32, who is a general assistant at the Somerfield store in Corsham, was chosen from hundreds of the firm's staff to take up the challenge with the Utterly Butterly display team.

She was strapped to the wing of a biplane before being flown 1,000ft above the Wiltshire countryside at 150mph on Tuesday. "It was a really incredible experience. I felt really sad when it was all over," she said.

The challenge took place at RFC Rendcomb Airfield, near Cirencester.

"The staff were all excellent and they really made me feel safe and secure. The pilot was very suave and sophisticated and he did an excellent job," she added.

Mrs Cann's mum, husband Andy and their two children watched her as she disappeared into the air for the flight of a lifetime. "It is so difficult to put into words as it was so amazing," she said.

"But I wasn't scared because I felt so secure. When I came down I just felt really emotional, because I had never experienced anything like it before.

"It was just unbelievable. I was trying to look around and keep track of my family but it was really hard because of the strong wind."

Mrs Cann said she agreed to the challenge because she has an adventurous nature.

"I just can't say no to opportunities like this. I don't want to be 70 and say I haven't done anything with my life," she added.

Even though the flight was a physical challenge she said she would definitely do it again.

"It was really hard to breath because of the strength of the wind. I wanted to put my arms up like a flying motion but it took a lot of hard work. When I got back to the ground my legs were like jelly and my husband had to hold me up," said Mrs Cann.

As soon as she got home she feel asleep because she was so exhausted.

"I was out like a light. I was completely wiped out," she said.

Mrs Cann said she was treated like a celebrity by the display team staff and the crowds of family and friends who gathered to watch.

"I was the only one doing the wing walk so I was the centre of attention and my husband and children took the day off work and school. My mum even came all the way over from Plymouth. By tomorrow everyone will probably have forgotten about it," she said.

Mrs Cann was worried at first that the flight may have upset her children Chelsea,12 and Shelby, seven.

"I was concerned about bringing them but they were not scared at all and were very proud of me," she said.

The day was enjoyed by all the spectators including Mrs Cann's boss from Somerfield, Peter Dobin.

Mrs Cann who is training to be a counsellor, said she hoped her mini adventure would also help to raise awareness for Victim Support.

She has worked for Victim Support Wiltshire for two years and this year has started to work with clients. She said she wanted people to know about the unique team of 23 staff at Victim Support in Trowbridge who work in a sexual and domestic violence unit.

"They are a pretty special team and it is the only place like it in Wiltshire. I want to raise awareness for people who may need to use the service," said Mrs Cann.

Mrs Cann expects to complete her training in the next two years.

She said: "Its funny because I am trained to understand feelings but when I came off the plane I just didn't understand my emotions."
