I went on one of those, E-bay shopping sprees, you know the ones where you buy something and get more than you planned - 15 hot air balloons later ........ I started a balloon museum
Luck is what you make it, for me, an amateur balloon designer and pilot, I'm lucky enough to fly over a town with 50 years of ballooning history, but there is no museum, no record of the flying endeavours held locally. SO in the boredom of lockdown I spend £3 on a pin badge, contacted the owner of the balloon and asked if it could come to an event in Oswestry (The town mentioned above) - That conversation sparked a new idea, collect designs through the generations, 6 companies with origins in the area, countless variations on size and style - by 2023 the collection has grown to 15 envelopes (the fabric bit) and hosts at least 2, one of a kind designs.
Join me then as I take you on a few road trips, to Bristol Balloon Collectors, the largest private collection in the UK, The British Balloon Museum and Library BBML inflation day, and to Midlands Air Fest, host a meet locally for balloons from the area
I went to Midlands Air Fest and found a very rare balloon from an American collection - a giant race car shape balloon !!! View here • Unbelievable MASSIVE r...
