Nimble Hot air balloon history. Another picture from the archives supplied by Peter J Bish. This one of the balloon registered as G-AXMD, flying from Marsh Benham near Newbury in Berkshire on the 4th January 1986 at the Icicle Balloon meet – note the frost on the ground! An early recruit to the resurgence of ballooning in the 1970’s, Pete sells balloon equipment and lists second hand balloons for sale. His web site www.zebedeelist.co.uk is a good point to start if you are looking for balloons or associated parts.
