Our Lives: The Boy Who Can Fly
The Boy Who Can Fly
Ever since he was young, growing up in the Scottish town of Stonehaven, Liam Byrne has dreamt to fly like the birds. Now, aged 23, he is already one of the youngest top-tier base jumpers in the world and current British champion in performance wingsuit flying. In spite of meticulous training and fastidious attention to detail, the margin for error on each jump is razor-thin - and the stakes couldn't be higher
Our Lives: The Boy Who Can Fly airs on BBC One North East & Cumbria HD at 7:30 PM, Friday 8 November. (Subtitles, new, audio description.)
