Was treated to a day at Ragley Hall near Stratford on Avon on Saturday for the Midlands Air Festival....great location .... garden party style with a balloon nightglow of 50 balloons on the Friday together with pyrotechnic display aircraft..
On Saturday at 6am there was a 76 balloon launch and a 4-5 hour display in the afternoon if anyone wants a list of what was there see their website.
We were going to wait for the 6pm Saturday evening launch but the teamtalk was taking ages and we were getting back to the others for an evening meal. Balloonists grapevine had even more turning up for the launch still at 7pm and commentator was then estimating a possible 100 plus launch
Will deffo do it properly next year and go for one of the am launches as looking at the list of attendees about 70 would have been new to me.
So if balloon meets are your thing get this new one in your diary for 2019......
regards Dave
