I remember the two Choc Dips balloons. I wonder if you can still buy Choc Dips.

Yes you can but the logo is different now. It took the owner a while to get hold of the hopper that was living in Belgium. The CAA insisted that the yellow reg be applied as the black one was difficult to see despite the fact that it was the original reg when it was first registered! Both have flown in recent years and could fly again but are not current.

Thanks Keith,
I think I saw them at a late 1980s Marsh Benham meet. Maybe the CAA are clamping down on difficult to see regs. I think they'll have a busy time as there are a lot of them about. Including pale regs on a light coloured background, on biz-jets as well as light aircraft.
