Top work that man! Love it.
Just wondering, did you have insurance it case it lands where it shouldn't?
That's a very good question and one that I'm glad you asked.Just wondering, did you have insurance it case it lands where it shouldn't?
Moving on, the video even included a jet plane flying way below:

Just wondering in case I ever get the time to try this myself. Note to Self: Best don't put an "If found, please return to PBF" sticker on it just in case it brains someone with a temper!
True! I did have such a sticker, so I took that risk in the hope that if I didn't locate it someone else would.It did actually land in someone's back garden, right next to the garden bench! That would have been a brown trouser moment!
Think this is a fantastic project, congrats!
on a side note I found this on the BBC website today and thought it was you till I read your blog

Looks like yours went higher and got some much better shots.

They seemed to need a team of experts. I just had me , plus Mrs Dave doing the sewing and some friends to help on the day.

Brilliant!
Love these weather balloon photographs.
My favourite was when someone sent teddy bear astronauts up on a weather balloon and recovered them.
British teddy bears!
Saw that. Great! I have a sponsor for my next balloon, and they have a bear as a company mascot, so asked about sending him up into space. I was at the Smithsonian air&space museum a few weeks ago and bought one of these to possibly send up instead Love these weather balloon photographs.
