The early morning flight of 22nd June saw passengers gather at Bluebell Road, Norwich for a flight of a lifetime. Some passengers arrived very excited whilst others were a little nervous, but all worries were soon forgotten as passengers helped the crew to pull out our large blue balloon G-CENX.
The large fans on either side of the basket soon filled the balloon with cold air before the pilot lit the burners and heated the air inside. G-CENX stood majestically above the basket as passengers were called to board. With all passengers safely on board and final safety checks complete G-CENX rose into the morning sky.
Passengers enjoyed spectacular views of the fine City of Norwich as they began their aerial adventure before heading in a northerly direction out over Norwich Airport and the countryside beyond.
Drifting effortlessly with the breeze G-CENX passed the villages of Horsham St Faiths, Frettenham and Lamas. As their journey drew to a close and the balloon floated back to earth, passengers could almost touch the trees and they passed over them. Landing on a set aside field passengers were still eager to help the crew pack G-CENX away and were soon sipping champagne, fruit juice or a mixture of the too and comparing photographs of their wonderful experience.
