Hi all,

A quick smash and grab on the Friday morning of the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, saw the following hit the book. Ever reducing returns for me at this event, saw me only make 12 with these being D-OWRA, G-CLTT, G-CMKM, G-CMYD, G-CNAN, G-ELMR, G-FABX, G-MEAS, G-VBBB, G-WDNS, OO-BNT & OO-BSW.

Was lovely to bump into Andy Drinkwater, Stuart Lindsay (who I hadn’t seen for years – great to see you chap), Malcolm Porter and Oshkosh 2025 side-kick Andy Durrant.
