Sky Safari 2019

[Cessna954]

The annual balloon meet at Longleat (Wiltshire) is now the largest annual balloon event in Europe, in terms of balloon numbers. Being a local aviation event to me it's a pleasure to find interesting locations to photograph from, depending on whetrher it's a morning or evening lift and obviously wind direction. I managed to attend 2 mass launches this year and the following is a selection of my images.
