Warwick Castle
I have previously mentioned our new launch site at St Nicholas Park in Warwick. Russell did his first flight from there just the other day and managed to catch a quick piccie of the castle from the balloon. STUNNING! What a treat he and the passengers had on this evening flight with such beautiful light. … Continue reading
New launch site
From the beginning of April we will be scheduling flights from the beautiful St Nicholas Park right beside Warwick Castle! The launch site should prove to be very popular considering the spectacular views and photo opportunities passengers will get upon take-off. With Warwick being so accessible from both the north and south on the M40 … Continue reading

Family Mascott
Our little boy Mylo, aged 16 months, is prepared to be our ballooning mascott this season: Every balloon company should have it’s own mascott and why not have your own son. The outfit was bought courtesy of a friend, who no doubt knew something would come of it. We hope our homegrown Mylo will bring … Continue reading
Floating at 3,000 feet – photos by Jermane Clarke
