A daredevil former paratrooper today set a world record after he jumped 131ft into the sea from a helicopter without a parachute. John Bream, who is nicknamed 'John the Flying Fish', plummeted into the sea feet-first at 75mph as part of his daring stunt. <br />
<br />
The 34 year old, who fell for around four seconds before hitting the water, has set two records as a result of his dive, which he took on to raise awareness for veteran suicide. Mr Bream set a world record for the highest freefall into water from an aircraft and the record for jumping into British waters following today's leap into the Solent off Hayling Island, Hants.
