We did indeed, thank you!

The BBC Points West video made the point that these flights are very special and that it is a strange position for balloon crew to be in, out of sight of land in all directions with shipping below as the only reference points apart from instruments. At least we have moving maps to reassure ourselves that we are heading towards safety.

One of our Belgian colleagues made this video, if you're interested.

He captured our landing near Wissern at 4:30 in.

Geoff
