Friday 17/05/19 Evening launch
Unfortunately the wind direction (towards Birmingham airport) meant the launch was cancelled. Only limited tethering was possible before the launch site had to be emptied for the flying display.

Saturday 18/05/19 Morning Launch
Again the weather meant no flying but a good session of tethering took place including 12 shapes.
Highlights were the two Pigs inflated next to each other and 7 Budweiser balloons in a line (4 cans, 3 normal).
Also for me, finally catching up with the Casserole Dish and the Orange that I had managed to miss everywhere else previously!

Saturday 18/05/19 Evening Launch
This was one of the most amazing launches/tetherings I’ve ever seen!
So many shapes (30), new, old, rare- collections of shapes, collection of 4 Concorde balloons... amazing!
Several balloons took-off from another site and attempted to land at the main Arbury Hall launch site.
3 of them- OCTS, CDZO, CKUN- managed it.
Chances are I’ve missed some, so if anyone has corrections, amendments please let me know!

Pegleg Pete was N805PP. I only went on the Saturday so I missed the Frog, the Horse, CJDN and CKTG. Still made 17 though, an excellent meet.

Posting these shapes has been slow-going.
Flickr is playing up so its either very slow to edit, or won't save any edits!!
So I've given up trying to edit for now!
