My ex-housemate's ex-boyfriend is an ex-airship pilot. (I wonder if I could get the word "ex" into a sentence more times if I tried?) When Lotto rebadged themselves and ran a massive advertising campaign, the airships they used were based at White Waltham, so my ex-housemate's ex-boyfriend arranged with his ex-colleague for a small number of people to ride along. Sadly this was limited to the CFI and some other instructors at the club, so I didn't get to go... not sure how to suggest going about getting yourself a ride.
As for balloons, BlueRobin, one of our own is very much into ballooning - RTFM. I'm sure he'll post when he sees this thread!
