Midlands Air Festival, Ragley Hall 02 and 03/06/22

Ragley Hall             02/06/22 Thur PM

As we had arrived about 4ish after watching the flypast in London, we missed the afternoon tethering- including shapes D-OBBT Brandenburg Gate, G-LOKO Orient Express, G-CHUB Chubb fire Extinguisher, G-DIPI "Choc" Dips, plus regular balloons G-DIPZ, G-BFME, G-BUVW and G-CBHW. I still need G-LOKO! However, we watched the end of the flying display and then saw the evening launch and then the night glow.

21 needed on the Thursday

















The next morning we were on site for the mass launch. Annoyingly the morning tether session was cancelled with no explanation, which was a real shame as I don't think any balloons were inflated after this launch?

Another 6 needed.
So I made 27 out of about 160 different balloons seen- hoping for a full weekend of good weather next year!
I'll try and post some photos when I get chance!

Great report Phil- my beloved has suggested that if we go next year that we go for the full three days- and hopefully will get some kind of result, but at least you got a result- it was disappointing for myself, but that's ballooning you pays your money you take a chance. Roll on RIAT.


Happy Days


Bob

PS:- Still on Nil balloons this year

[davidallum]

Tell me about it Bob,myself & Rob Belcher could only make the last three launches and of course they were the three that nothing flew,we cut our losses and went home after breakfast on the Saturday via Birmingham,Wellesbourne & Kidlington,I'll post a log when I've sorted it out.

I know Dave- but at least you got something like I did - but maybe better luck next year- if I go of course.

Great pictures Phil- thanks for sharing- I had a Bullseye moment when I saw them- imagining Jim Bowen saying " Bob this is what you could have seen if you had gone a couple of days earlier."

Sorry Bob, without wanting to rub it in, here are a few more (not too many- they didn't come out great this year with poor light and direction of launch). If its a small consolation, the Juno you saw there at the weekend was the last one that I would have needed!

Made an account specifically for this, during the morning tether on saturday G-ELLE cold inflated in the balloonist carpark but never stood up due to the winds
