I used to crew for a hot air ballooning company from Great Missenden in Bucks and below are some of the pictures I was able to take whilst attending but not crewing.
View from the top of the balloon as it is being inflated with cold air.
Inside checking the control lines for the vent at the top of the balloon. My brother Mike ( silhouette ) should give you some scale as to the size of the balloon.
Final inflation done by the burners. You can see the pilots hand in the grey gauntlet below the burner
Bill the pilot getting the final phase under way. This balloon will carry 8 passengers and the pilot.
