Well I am back in circulation, just, after moving from the shallow gene pool of Melksham to lovely Corsham!
Balloon flights have picked up again after a couple of very poor weeks due to the weather.....this last week I have been out on 7 launches from Monmouth to Glastonbury, Bath to Marlborough.....some with exciting take-offs..........others with dramatic recovery stories including a landing in Somerset where the police turned up to innvestigate a reported 'crash landing'.....until my colleague explained that balloons do land with the burner on to help slow the aircraft down, and do 'bounce' along before coming to a halt sometimes!
About Me
- Welsh Celt
- Mad Welsh Celt, married to my gorgeous Celtic Queen, teenage daughter who spends most of her waking day harrassing me :-D....and I would die for either of them...Work as 'ground crew' for a commercial hot air balloon team and when the weather is crap I am available as a film/television 'extra and also have a D1 minibus driving licence(PCV & CPC)which means I can drive for 'hire and reward'.
