Built by the University of Sussex Ballooning Society this was built and first registered in 1968 and cancelled as withdrawn from use in 1984. It is in poor condition, disintegrating badly, and was mostly returned to its bag by people picking up pieces. Having not been seen for decades, it did however attract a lot of attention from the enthusiasts present. It is unlikely that it will ever be taken out again.
