I took this snap at about 7.20p.m. when the contraption had been put together, inflated, and was in the air with about eighteen people (including Ann) aboard. There was a very light southeasterly blowing and they went off very steadily and were soon out of sight. Ann tells me they came down just over an hour later on a golf course, still in Essex. They then deflated, folded and packed the balloon, got into a mini-'bus, and were back at the field they'd ascended from at about 9.30p.m. Ann LOVED it.
Being called up for lunch, so will write more about it later.
That has to be among your best snaps Mike. Lovely composition.
