Our joint Creative Director Tony went to one of the Honda World Ballooning Grand Prix rounds in Luxembourg this weekend. He writes:

"We went for a flight early on Saturday morning in quite strong winds. Had to use a tree to help us land safely, causing a bit of minor damage to the envelope (balloon talk for the balloon above the basket).

We saw the balloon again that night at the ‘glow-Up’. Check out the holes!

"Our Russian pilot Uri was very cool about the whole thing, offering us vodka to calm the nerves."

It’s a tough job, but…etc.
