Chloe Langley, who has worked at Cramers Butchers in York Way for 10 years

FOR those scared of heights, being strapped to a plane, taking off, performing a couple of loops and then returning to land would probably be their worst nightmare.

But, for Chloe Langley, who works at Cramers Butchers in York Way, the wing walk she will be undertaking on Saturday is expected to be light work.

Ms Langley, 39, who has worked at the traditional butcher’s shop for 10 years, is raising money for the London Air Ambulance charity, which relies solely on donations.

“People keep on telling me I’m out of my mind but I don’t mind heights,” said Ms Langley.

“I try and do different things for charity all the time and a couple of years ago I did a run up the Walkie-Talkie building and abseiled down the side.

“That was what started me doing challenges like this and every time I try to do something different and it’s always for charity.”

She added: “It’s a Stearman bi-plane. You climb on top of the wing, the airplane takes off, you do a couple of loops and then you come back down. I’m just going to turn up, gather my nerves, jump on and hope for the best.”

Ms Langley works at Cramers Butchers alongside her father, Paul Langley, who has been running the business for more than 30 years.

The establishment, which is 107 years old this year, has been serving the community with their meat since 1935. It was opened by Phillip Cramer, a local legend who died aged 100 in 2015.

Mr Langley began working for Mr Cramer as a teenager, aged 13, while attending Acland Burghley School with a part-time job at the butcher’s shop.

Ms Langley said: “I’ve always helped out, the customers have seen us grow up here, sweeping the floors to now.

“We’ve got some customers who come here that are fourth generation now.”

Mr Langley added: “Mr [Phillip] Cramer didn’t throw anything away. We’ve still got the ration books out the back, [war-time] documentation of people on rations allotted to the shop.

“Everyone knows us in the area and our loyal customers are great.”

Mr Langley said he had done a couple of wild things in his life, but when it came to his daughter’s challenge, it was a case of “better her than me”.

He added: “It’s a bit daunting but it’s for a great cause. The London Air Ambulance relies solely on donations so it all makes a difference.”
