As above... I need some help setting a World Record in a HAB. The Balloon needs a ceiling of about 2000m.

Any help will be greatly received.

Thanks

What record would that be?

Google says height record for a HAB stands at 21290.

An old childhood neighbour/friend has worked for Cameron Balloons since he left school. I think he's quiet senior now.

They make balloons and I think they've been involved in record attempts in the past.

If I had any interest in any serious ballooning venture, then Cameron Balloons would be my first port of call. They are world leaders.

This is good news.

The record I have been wanting to break (for a few years now) is the highest concert performed in a HAB. Record stands at ~1800m.
