Hot Air Balloon stolen

Reports are coming in that thieves have stolen a hot air balloon from a barn in Chelmsford, Essex, where it was stored between flights. The hot air balloon which is used for pleasure flights and pilot training, belongs to Sussex-based, the British School of Ballooning. The balloon went missing sometime between September 1 and September 7 and the Sussex-based company is offering a £1,000 reward for information about the burgundy and cream coloured balloon which leads to its safe return.

A hot air balloon is a registered aircraft which can only be flown by a fully trained pilot just in the same way that the Balloons over Britain associates, who fly from launch sites which situated throughout the country, operate on most days. So you do not have to steal a hot air balloon if you want a flight from your area, simply call Balloons over Britain on 0845 071 6388 and enjoy the thrill of a lifetime.
