Flight Updates

Thursday 08th May, 7pm

We are standing down The Lord Mayor's Hot Air Balloon Regatta flight for Sunday 11th May.

Wind speeds are too quick for flying, however this is also due to the wind direction. Forecasts show an easterly wind, which would take all of the hot air balloons directly towards Heathrow airport runway.

We now roll to our next standby date of Sunday 20th July.
