Whilst the CAA lists this as a hot air ballooon it is evidently not. Named Omega II it had a volume of 590 cubic metres and, If my memory serves me correctly, it used coal gas. It was written off on 28th February 1978. Seen at Wollaton Park. This photo is copyright © Mick Bajcar, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
