Footage showed Dave launching the mixture as he was assisted by staff from London Fire Brigade at Wimbledon Fire Station.

The goal was for the firefighters on the ground to catch them.

After several attempts, the team managed to nab two pancakes.

Dave, who confessed to being scared of heights, was chuffed, as reported by What’s The Jam.

“Catching the pancake flip from 210-feet up was amazing.

“Being that high up was incredible.

“The views were amazing but when you look down it is genuinely scary and your mind can easily think the worst.

“At full height, it felt even higher than I imagined.

“The real skill and pressure was on the firefighters below.

“Their coordination and timing to catch a pancake falling from that height was seriously impressive.

(Jam Press/Dave Goodings)

“The firefighters are true everyday heroes.

“This incredible challenge was an absolute honour.

“I am genuinely grateful.

“But getting to press the sirens afterwards was just as good.”
