Soaring 170 metres above Portsmouth Harbour and the Solent, the Spinnaker Tower is taller than the London Eye, Blackpool Tower and Big Ben and has already established itself as a national icon for Britain. View Deck 1 boasts Europe's largest glass floor, where visitors of all ages can dare to 'walk on air'! There are many that won't even go up the tower, and of those that do, there are many that dare not 'walk on air'. Did Maureen do the 'walk'? You bet your bottom dollar she did, and we have the photo to prove it.

Here she is shoeless, and with just a thick piece of glass and 500 feet of nothing between her and the ground below, having her fingernails inspected (?!)  by her chaperon from Southampton Squares, Eric Windatt. Notice that the man in the white shorts and the lady in the pink blouse seem to be viewing her bravery with a little incredulity.
Throughout this atypical 'flaming June' day Maureen had VIP treatment from her ladies and gentlemen in waiting,  Ron & Margaret Yard, Eric & Joan Windatt, Mike & Lyn Browning & Carol Jessup.
I am told that she descended the tower by the normal route (high speed elevator) though from the photo below, it looks like there was an attempt to persuade her to bungee jump!
