Just a heads up that this due to be flown today. There was a report on BBC Breakfast about it this morning.

Still looks as brilliant as it was back in the day. Amazing job they did restoring it to its former glory.

I wonder if they'll be such a report on people going swimming in the sea in 20 odd years time.

Well I sure hope they don't fetch them out of storage and fill them with hot air if there is.

Really good to hear that, subject to an air worthiness certificate, she’ll very hopefully fly again!

Good to see James again after all this time. He gave a talk at my school around 1999 and the balloon was actually inflated on my school field as well.
I saw all the photos in that journal he showed on screen too.
Gutted I have no pics of me with the inflated balloon!

At least that video up there dispels a myth for me of the clouds on the Balloon being painted on and not sewn into the pattern which I have always thought.
And also a good little revelation there with it almost being green and blue. A sliding doors moment there.

Would be nice, if it were to fly again, to film an ident or two with it. Balloon centred in the middle to match the "Lens" and then we cycle through the locations and times of day with it.

Is that possible with After Effects ?
