A cold, wet and at times windy day yesterday, made it doubtful whether any balloons would be seen.
So it was a fantastic effort, mostly by 3 teams, to get the following inflated...
G-AZXB
G-BADU
G-BBCB
G-BCAS
G-BDYH
G-BFLP
G-BFUZ
G-BMHJ
G-BMKV
G-BMPD
G-BMVT
G-BNFG
G-BNFO
G-BOGT
G-BRAJ
G-BTZU
G-BUEU
G-CEYD
G-COMP
G-GLUE
G-LEND
G-RINO
OO-BLL (corrected, thanks Keith, see below)
OO-BUE (ex- G-PULP) Orangina Bottle SS
G-BBOD mini-balloon inflated inside clubhouse.
G-ERMS model airship inflated inside clubhouse.
G-BKJT laid out to inflate, then covered up when it began to rain. The crew went off to the prize-giving and were possibly going to inflate the balloon if rain had stopped when they came back. But I had given up and gone home by then !
G-BUSY taken out of bag inside clubhouse.
G-PIPY taken out of bag inside clubhouse.
So despite the weather it was a very good day, and nice to chat to photomick.
I made 6 new-
BADU, BBCB, BMHJ, BMKV
OO-BLL, OO-BUE (although seen as G-PULP)
Would have needed BKJT and BDSK which were next to be inflated had the rain not started! More for next time...
photos to follow...

It was a great day considering. I made BBCB and OO-BLL and would have made BDSK but there were more that I didn't have shots of before. I think OO-BNL should be BLL by the way

Inflation day pix, unfortunately all efforts to keep rain off the lens failed! The wind didn't help much either.

I think Team Lumpi would be disgruntled with that comment as they were proud of their record of 14 inflated!! Seriously all three teams did brilliantly and two more were inflated after the prize giving but I don't know who did the inflations. The two were G-BKJT and PH-BBB, (with thanks to my East Anglian correspondent Paul Coman!). It's funny but I must have stood next to loads of people on this forum (Cheltenham races recently for example), but I've still only met Graham Devizes and Dave Allum who are old schoolmates!

Wish I had gone to this event now,even allowing for the weather it would have been better than that dross that was served up at the Mad Stad on Saturday.
